Repo status is a mess, because the state of the TC is currently a
mess...

* Before we can merge the branches, we need to do a proper Special
  Majority Vote to release 1.3 (which had been delayed since *last year*
  due to first the threatening migration, and then the actual
  troublesome migration.)
* The platform is still not working properly. For starters, we now know
  that other people besides myself are not getting any mail from the
  main TC list; given that the ballot approving use of the new lists has
  not gotten a vote from several usually reliable voters, I fear that
  mail delivery regarding ballots is broken for some people as well...

Before requesting a Special Majority Vote, IMNSHO we need to be sure
that voters actually get notified about it. [We have raised the issues
with mail delivery with OASIS staff, but I'm really unsure about the
current status.]

virtio-comment subscribers who are TC members as well: if you didn't get
any emails from either the main TC mailing list (you can check the
archives) or from the voting platform, we'd like to hear about it.
