This is the start of the stable review cycle for the 5.2.10 release. There are 135 patches in this series, all will be posted as a response to this one. If anyone has any issues with these being applied, please let me know.
Responses should be made by Sat 24 Aug 2019 05:07:10 PM UTC. Anything received after that time might be too late.
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.
