Key Status/Updates:

*	YP 3.1.1 is out from QA and had no defects raised so is likely to be
released after review
*	YP 3.2 M1 will be built as soon as we have a clean build run of the
currently queued patches. We've not seen anything else pending critical to
M1.
*	We are struggling with maintainers for some key components of the
system/infrastructure such as devtool, wic, buildhistory and
patchwork/patchtest. If anyone can help in these areas please contact
Richard.
*	There was a key fix to the gitsm fetcher which resolved autobuilder
regressions, thanks Paul Barker for helping resolve that at short notice.
*	There were some important improvements to multiconfig this week so
that multiconfig task hashes are correctly accounted for and rebuilt as well
as BBMASK being handled correctly in individual multiconfigs, thanks Joshua
Watt for those improvements.
*	The biggest concern for both LTS and master right now are the
intermittent test failures that keep occurring on the infrastructure, we're
struggling to get clean builds of either branch due to these issues.
Instability in the upstream distros we run on (which we regularly pull for
security updates) are sadly contributing to the issues, seemingly more
significantly than usual.
*	If anyone has thoughts on attracting and recognizing project
contributors and contributions, we would be interested in ideas and
assistance in that area.
*	There remain a large number of bugs that we'd ideally like to fix in
3.2 M2 but they are "unassigned", there is nobody to work on them. If anyone
has time, looking at these bugs would be a great way to help us. See:
