Thanks for the stats. I guess it's mostly me, though.

I am also forming more coherent ideas about the development process,
but I am still unsure about the final push process. As I understand
it, you have to push to staging, and then someone (David?) runs patchy
over the staging branch, verifies the regtest output, and pushes to
master. Is that roughly correct?
