Yes to all (but of course “likely” depends on what the actual fix is
about, how it's implemented, and how confident I feel with it).

It might be a good idea to have a bug report (pointing at these list
messages) and a bug closure in the changelog. This particular case
looks easy enough but I'd rather have that as a general guideline,
which is going to help unblock reviews.

Fix it? :) You seem to be missing backslashes.

Push to master once it's fixed and maybe Christian will upload it when
he notices the unreleased changes.

Mraw,
