I am physically back but still am far from catching up with the list
traffic (yet).  After skimming my inbox, it appears that you have
done a magnificent job keeping track of topics in flight and merging
low-risk fixes early to the 'master' branch.

I am hoping that I can ask you to do another issue of "What's
cooking" (or two) while I catch up with the traffic, to collect all
worthy patches that are already published on the list ;-).  After
that, let us arrange for me to pick up the tips of topic branches
you have and take it over (just telling me to run "log --oneline
master..pu" might be sufficient if there is no "tentatively ejected"
topic).

Thanks.

Thanks. I have a new-found appreciation of how much work goes into being
the maintainer.

That sounds like a plan. I'll shoot for sending out a "What's Cooking"
Monday evening. I'll be traveling the rest of the week, so hopefully you
will be ready to pick things up by Tuesday.
