Roberto,

I certainly can -- I have several 5.2.3 patches queued up which I can
push to the 5.2.3 branch on Gitlab. They will then show up there as
merge requests (I've done that before).

Going forward, how do we want to handle updates to the known problems,
change log and release notes? Traditionally, I have updated known
problems when I have identified a problem then I update that document
again when I am preparing a release (to indicate which release the
defect is corrected in). I typically update the change log and release
notes periodically during the release cycle for both features and bug fixes.

If we are going to submit changes as merge requests, then maybe updates
to the release documents should be submitted along with the code change
itself. That could be done by including the text in the commit message
body or by submitting a companion update the the release repository. I
don't have a strong opinion either way, but the latter approach would
result in less work for whoever ends up doing the final release work.
