If you need something review'n'merged yourself, and cannot find anyone
else to do it, feel free to ask me directl. I may not read tails-dev@
very closely starting July 25th, until around August 20th.

I may not be available on August 14th but I definitely will be available
on September 1st.

Right. There are two reasons I've not done this so far:
* The later we pull the source, the less likely is it we have to build
a new package due to last-minute changes. I don't think I've ever
seen that happen, though.
* I'm generally completely unavailable on Saturdays.
We'll see what I do this particular time, but in generally I have no
issue with all-nighters, except that sleep deprivation makes one more
error prone. Regarding the testing sessions it's true that I will join
them later than normally would be possible, like early afternoon, but
that seems to be when other testers join in any way, so no problem there
either.
Cheers!
