It's been a long time since we have done a sane-backends release, and
much code has changed. I propose to do a release sometime in mid
September.
Unfortunately, there have been a number of patches posted to this
mailing list or the bug tracker, which have not been applied. In
particular, I know that Gentoo has some systemd compilation fixes. We
also have a large number of open bug reports- sometimes waiting years
for reporter responses.
1. Is there someone willing to volunteer to find some of the patches
we missed, and investigate their suitability?
2. Are backend authors able to investigate and close some tickets?
If we can clean some of these things up, I will pick a date, and do the release.

Hello,
I'm already currently working on closing as much tickets I can on
the backends I maintain.
I think we shouldn't do a release without the new pie backend (see
https://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=410366&aid=315085&group_id=30186).
I planned to have a look at it once I have done fixing bugs in genesys
backend.
And I'd rather not close any ticket because it is too old. I have
seen that process to many times at work:
1 - don't answer the bug reports because your are busy adding more
features
2 - wait for too long
3 - close them because they are too old when management get scared
of the tickets stock pile
Bug reports are accumulating because we need more developers.
Regards,
Stef
