Hi,

In general, hands are always welcome anywhere in GNOME! :)

Right now there are two serious issues that I'm aware of. Bug #748428
is one of GNOME's most visible design issues, and we need to fix it,
preferably prior to 3.20. It should be a fairly easy project, but it
requires some significant changes. The other one is bug #752478, which
I see now has a patch, so I'm going to go ahead and mark that as
accepted....

Bug #730291 is pretty bad too, but only affects users of non-GNOME
environments. Is it an issue for Budgie?

Also serious is that there are 39 unreviewed patches, including many
that are several years old. It looks like nobody has been watching the
Bugzilla review queue for a very long time. Reviewing patches or
marking old patches as obsolete would be helpful.

Thanks for pointing this out. I think Paolo probably has not done a new
release simply because there aren't many recent changes.
