Just to confirm to everyone, yes, this is real :)

Sasha has been helping me out with the stable patch work for a while now
and we finally sat down together today and worked out how to do the
releases as well.  This is the first attempt at this, hopefully it all
works as it was all based on some horrible scripts that have evolved
over the past 15+ years, which he sanely rewrote into something
simple[1].

If anyone notices anything that we messed up, please let us know.

thanks,

[1] Turns out that 'git format-patch' does a lot more things now than it
    used to, so most of my 'formail' scripts are no longer needed.
