Please forgive me if this is something I should have been on top of. 
I'm the xserver stable branch maintainer. Have I been dropping the ball 
here?   I've been paying more attention to emails from people than 
following the 1.13 bug tracker, 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44202.

Have I missed something?  Should I be more active in poking people on 
bugs? Other?
Matt
