My intention in joining the jed-extra packagers was to get rid of all these
dpatches fixing bugs I never heard of.

With such a scheme, I would stop working on jed-extra and concentrate on
Jedmodes.

By "release", do you mean "real" releases via the Sourceforge file release
system or inofficial "micro" releases as currently done?

In any way, Jedmodes does not really have "releases" but CVS snapshots.
