I look forward to these improvements, Guillaume. Thanks for this work!
My only comment is that I would like to see better commit messages.
Your message for 0003 is great, your message for 0002 is only one line
(e.g. can you describe what is "better" about the "better session
management" ?), and your message for 0001 is OK since you reference a
bug and there are details in the bug report. Normally I still like to
see a message even if you reference a bug number, but in this case it
is pretty simple what you do. I would also like to see your remark
that highlighting is off by one in the very last paragraph in the
commit message.

In summary, I prefer for a patch/commit to be independent and
self-contained so that it withstands time (e.g. what if we change bug
trackers and our bug numbers become useless? This happened on one
project and it caused a lot of confusion.) and bad memories like mine
of discussions that happened on the list regarding the commit.

The above might just be my personal opinion. Perhaps others disagree.
