However that yielded some fixes I want to upstream. That's why I asked for the correct branch in Martin's repo to send pull request to. > Is development progressing there now? I hope it's progressing, but for now I'm happy to keep the upstream at Martin's repo.

Use Martin's latest release for now. > I did find that previous feedback seems to be scattered around mailing > lists and dedicated distribution list. In what way is the feedback > preferred? Comments/Questions to a specific distribution list? Patches? I'm interested in mainline development only. Please use this mailinglist here. Post patches using git send-email.
