There doesn't seem to be anything significant released in about 1.5 years now. I'm worried about patches getting lost, especially since there were a large number of thirdparty bugs/patches referenced in the changelog for 2004. Personally I submitted a patch in 2004 that was merged immediately, then I sent a simple bug fix early in 2005 that has never been released. Can we have a mailing list (on vger?) to at least archive patches and bugs? This is the timeline over the last while as I see it: 23 Sep 2005 ----------------------------------------2.12r cfdisk: fix a segfault with ReiserFS partitions umount: disallow -r option for non-root users 20 Jan 2005 ----------------------------------------2.12q updated translations 01 Jan 2005 ----------------------------------------Maintainership change 23 Dec 2004 ----------------------------------------2.12p : : many changes in 16 versions : 05 Mar 2004 ----------------------------------------2.12a Pádraig.
