Henrique Holschuh <hmh(_at_)debian(_dot_)org>:
Eric, I have not touched the BTS yet, as I do not know if you and Paul had
any sort of special arrangement for dealing with the bug reports filled with
debian.  If you want to arrange anything on that topic, just drop me an
email.  I'll probably start weeding through the BTS reports later this week.

We had no special arrangement.  Earlier today I sent him the following
resolutions:

#78963: Cosmetic error in fetchmail.1
#63064: fetchmail: Build process nit
#65505: Fetchmail returns 0 on Ctrl-C
        These are fixed.  The changes will be released in 5.6.5.

#81312: fetchmail dies with a segfault if an nameserver failure appears
#78796: fetchmail: fetchmail crashes after encountering "nameserver failures"
        This bug was fixed in 5.6.1 (as #81312 notes)

#78363: fetchmail: fetchmail{,-ssl} frees the same pointer twice
        This was fixed in 5.5.5.

#78149: fetchmail: fetchmail segfaults on POP3 fetches
        Fetchmail is not capable of emitting the message texts you're seeing.
        This is a low-level networking error in your socket layer.

#68627: fetchmail: Fetchmail periodically hangs on external call to uname
        This was fixed in 5.3.6, as the person reporting it notes.

#67559: fetchmail: fetchmail corrupts pop3 mailbox
        This is a server error, not fetchmail's problem.  Would you
        please send me a copy of the server's greeting line so I can
        warn people about it?

#63308: Fetchmail ate my mail
        Pilot error.  If you had RTFM, you'd know that 501 is one of
        the default antispam responses.  This can be changed.

#63088: fetchmail: -M or -I options make fetchmail not get mail
        Fixed as a side-effect of a change in 5.5.4.

#71428: fetchmail doesn't compile
        Fixed in 5.6.2.

Let us hope our weapons are never needed --but do not forget what 
the common people knew when they demanded the Bill of Rights: An 
armed citizenry is the first defense, the best defense, and the 
final defense against tyranny.
   If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only 
the police, the secret police, the military, the hired servants of 
our rulers.  Only the government -- and a few outlaws.  I intend to 
be among the outlaws.
