Patch Pilot Report 2011-04-15

[Scott Moser]

I did make some progress.  One overall theme I see is that there are
things in that queue that should not be there.  That means that
patch-pilots (or anyone using it, really) potentially lose time reading
bugs and coming to the conclusion that "this is not ready".

I'm not a member of ubuntu-sponsors, so I could not remove them from some
of the bugs, to remove them from the queue.

== needs ubuntu-sponsors removed / should not be in queue ==

* Press S or M does not work for more than one partition on error
  http://pad.lv/655616

  marked incomplete.  ubuntu-sponsors needs to be unsubscribed.
  cjwatson is looking at this, and waiting on input from the submitter for
  10 days (since 2011-04-05).
  Commented in bug to this effect.
* [Regression] Widescreen resolutions are missing from vgabios, breaking widescreen in qemu
  http://pad.lv/700511
  This needs ubuntu-sponsors removed

* rt3090: freeze on module rt2800pci unload
  http://pad.lv/662288
  This should get fixed in the kernel pull of upstream 2.6.38.3
  Which should occur early next week or soon in -updates.

== Maybe ubuntu-sponsors should be removed ==
* lirc init script can create circular symlinks
  http://pad.lv/698007
  Waiting on input/review of superm1 at ubuntu.com since 2011-04-08
  Blocking on that, this doesn't seem like it should be in the queue.
* lirc init script seems to load things backwards
  http://pad.lv/697999
  Same as lirc, waiting on mario
