Thank you both!

It's nice to have two people stepping forward. As usual, there's no
algorithm for picking one or the other, except to go with whichever
mail arrived first, in this case Sander's.

I'm not sure to what degree patch management is a distributable task
(I imagine it works best with one person keeping track of things), but
if you guys can think of some way to divide up the job, then that's
great. For now, let's assume that Sander is in the hot spot, but if
you guys work out some other arrangement, just let us know.

The mbox of patches is up at:

   http://www.red-bean.com/kfogel/svn-patches.mbox

Note that a lot of them have been applied already. Others may already
have "PATCH" issues filed, so beware of duplication. Also, the mbox
may not include patches that came in today.

If you have any problems with tigris.org (such as, it won't let an
Observer manipulate issues the way you need), we can tweak your role,
just ask.

Actually, we're already using the current issue tracker that way,
search for issues of type "PATCH". (Or did you mean something
different?)
