<plea>
Hi,
Just one week before the planned release of GCC 3.3, the number of
high-priority bugs for 3.3 is going *up* instead of down!
Two weeks ago, there were 72 high-priority PRs, four days ago there were
77, and today there are 80 *high-priority* PRs! For a handful of those
patches are pending, but most of them are just there waiting to be
picked up and fixed by somebody. The few people who are fixing and
closing PRs can't keep up with the new PRs coming in every day.
Some stats
- 68 of those 80 PRs are unassigned.
- 46 of those 80 PRs apply to both 3.3 and 3.4 so
postponing them now will hurt even more later on.
- 8 of those 46 are critical. This does not even include
C++ ABI changes from 3.2, such as PR/8964.
Mostly thanks to Wolfgang and Janis, for quite a few PRs the patches
causing the bugs have been located. Unfortunately, hardly any of these
PRs were picked up by by somebody for fixing.
So please help bug-fixing. This will not only help 3.3 but 3.4 as well
because so many bugs are present on both the release branch and the
trunk. So even if 3.4 is more interesting to you, locating and/or
fixing bugs for 3.3 will be beneficial to you as well.
</plea>
