Dear contributors, fellow MOTUs,

Feature Freeze [1] will be active next Thursday, August 28th. Starting
from that day, new features will require approval by motu-release [2] to
enter Intrepid.

Ubuntu Universe Sponsors queue [3] has grown too much these days, we
will try to define a strategy to optimize open sponsoring request
workflow, but current focus is processing package upgrades/new features
before Feature Freeze will be in effect to reduce release managers'
pressure. We tagged some candidates with "uus-pre-ff-810", just to have
a more practical view of bugs which need immediate love. A list of these
bug can be found at [4].

Developers, please take care of these bugs as soon as possible. If we
are all able to manage 2/3 bugs a day, we will close them very quickly.

Contributors, please double-check your patches carefully for trivial
errors, just to make sure to speed up reviewing process.

Everyone: if you think a sponsoring request must be managed before
Feature Freeze, please tag related bug with "uus-pre-ff-810".
