Here is an update to the list I sent earlier. Topics that I thought may deserve attention, discussion and eventual inclusion but are not 1.5.4 material.
I think some of them actually have a slight chance of being 1.5.4 material, if interested parties present good enough arguments that they are actually good and safe bugfixes.
* compress/decompress abstraction (Marco)
* crlf (Steffen Prohaska and Dmitry Potapov)
* whitespace error: "cr at eol is ok" (me)
* moving archive related helpers to libgit.a (Lars Hjemli)
* marking output from "diff --{no,src,dst}-prefix" as a non-git
diff (me)* submodule subcommand parser fix for "git submodule add init update" (Imran M Yousuf and me)
* submodule recursive wrapper (Imran M Yousuf)
* 'origin' is not so special after "clone -o frotz" (Mark Levedahl)
* "submodule summary" (Ping Yin)
* unconfigured ident safety (Stephen Sinclair)
* gitweb feed from commit to commitdiff (Florian La Rouche -- Jakub seems to be on top of this so I am not worried about it too much).
* color.ui (Matthias Kestenholz)
* test scripts to use valgrind (Jeff King)
* various lstat(2) reduction changes (me).
* "rebase -i" UI -- should it be simplified to do commit --amend itself? (Dscho)
* "cherry-pick/revert" error message fix (Björn Steinbrink and me)
* pathname safety on filesystems whose readdir(3) thinks it knows better than users (Linus, Robin Rosenberg, me and others).
Again, I am hoping that authors will resend the ones they really care about after 1.5.4, as I do not want to take patches early.
