Instead of these notes, it would be much easier for people to
realize that this (and previous) week is mostly about regression
fixing and it is not welcome to drown the list with new patches, if
you just resent the patch with 

    Subject: [PATCH/regression] fix blah

I would say.

Having said that, thanks for a reminder.  I did read it, but
apparently forgot to include it in the list of things needed for
'master' when I prepared it last night.
