regressions where: master, stable branch, ..?

how would they be identified? (e.g.: who would identify them, how would they 
be tagged, etc..)

what is the definition of a regression? (i've had, on more than one occassion, 
a change in a feature described as a "regression" by a person who wanted it 
the old way.)

with reasonable answers/definitions to the above, i can only say that 
regressions could be prioritized. 

there is no way, with a non-stable work force as in an open source project and 
the amount of work that we need to do elsewhere, commit to "by next minor 
release".

in times past (and recent), our team has been quite capable of pounding out 
the bug fixes when the issues are well triaged and prioritized. so i don't 
think the issue is finding commitment from us for follow through, the issue is 
getting to a data set from which we can apply our commitment.
