The new process is something that I haven't really gotten around to trying to figure out. I'm not saying it's the wrong choice, but it's just that much more effort to even *submit* a patch, that I suspect that a lot of would-be contributors might find the threshold too high. Maybe updating documentation could help. Right now, if you go to the main "develop" page https://www.wireshark.org/develop.html and click on the link under "code review site" you get to https://code.wireshark.org/review/#/q/status:open,n,z which offers no clue at all as to how one should actually register. I'm sure I could figure it out, and I'm sure many have. It's just that I'd really just like to be able to contribute patches without having to do quite so much exploration. Maybe I'm just lazy, but it might be nice if the barrier to useful contribution were lowered just a bit.

Re: [Wireshark-dev] Warning users on XP *before* uninstalling the old version?
Other possibilities? 1.Disable the auto-update feature if Wireshark is running on Windows XP. 2.Leave the auto-update enabled, but have it only check against the latest 1.10.x version (if possible)? 3.Since Wireshark 1.12.x still works on Windows XP, possibly change the message from “This version may not work on Windows XP …” to something else, such as, “This version is unsupported on Windows XP. If you experience problems, please report them and revert to an earlier version of Wireshark instead.” … where “earlier version” is not necessarily the latest 1.10.x release since we know 1.12.0 still works. We could also refer them to http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/LifeCycle? That way they pretty much know that they’re on their own.

Ah ok.

This is the lts-1.8.2 branch but the builds are shown on trunk's buildbot. I updated the LTS branches before releasing the update to Debian in a hope that the patched could be fuzz-tested by the buildbots, but I think LTS branches are not fuzz-tested. I have fixed a few build problems along the security fixes, but did not have time to fix this one, too.
