A bit OT, sandalle has been diligently gatekeeping the last few days. Very 
nice Eric!
I'd clean it them too if it is possible, otherwise it will be hard to search 
for bugs that are not already fixed (see below).

we're now at 52 bugs pending integrations and 226 bugs pending gatekeeper 
review. This is quite an improvement since two months ago [0], when the 
numbers were 14 and 182. The total count has slightly increased though and 
those 278 fixes are only in test atm.

(the reply has grown too much off-topic, so I branched it)

emrys: anything new with the git transition? Should integrations still be 
avoided?

This is also a major problem:
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/sm-discuss/2006-October/015541.html
without this resolved, we can't easily give people a quickfix bugs link, 
since 
we cannot exclude the already fixed ones. Such an initiative proved useful at 
the last release.
Not to mention it affects gurus the most.

And with the new release, we can archive the old stable as emrys suggested in 
the graveyard thread and do some healthy pruning. This would also improve the 
grimoire quality. :) And if we're throwing stable away, I don't see how the 
stable-only integrations would mess with git history.

I have also plans [1] to someday utilise something like 
http://www.commit-digest.org/issues/2006-10-15/statistics/ for us. I think 
this would not only also stimulate fixing like the suggested contest, but 
would also give a nice weekly overview. That digest in particular is 
generated from bugzilla data at https://bugs.kde.org/weekly-bug-summary.cgi 
(which is a nice summary in itself). I've been directed to the scripts behind 
it and the bugzilla part of the commit-digest (this previous link) should 
work, the commit not, as they use svn (and i didn't get that code either).

[1] will file a bug sometime
