I'm back online and have pushed the backlog[0] up to v5.3-rc4-dts.

That would work for the bulk of the work (daily run of git filter-
branch), the only manual bit is merging the tags of each release (so
approx weekly). I currently sign the tags with my own PGP key so isn't
really suitable for pushing to a CI system (I think that's true no
matter which key we are using?)

Thanks, it's approximately no actual effort so I don't mind to keep
running it for the time being. So far the real actual work has been
hacking on git filter-branch, which has been a 2-3 events per decade
type thing...

Cheers,
Ian.
