Good idea - but here's another suggestion - it would be great if someone could do an audit of release and trunk branches and see what hasn't been merged but should have been. I get the impression that some folks have committed fixes to Trunk and then forgotten all about them :-(
Of course hopefully I'm wrong and there's nothing to actually do....
Failing to merge fixes into release is a major problem. For 1.41.0, I contacted three or four maintainers where I was very sure there were unmerged changes. That resulted in those libraries getting merged. I was going to set up a procedure to report unmerged libraries, but got distracted and never did it. We really need a regular, preferably automatic, way to detect and report unmerged libraries. --Beman
