Hello,

On new SF is a head branch which does contain some patches (newer than
1.60), but I guess not all of them have been sent as patches to me.

This would be perfect.

I think bug tracker would be best, but I also apreciate it if you sent
them beforehand by mail.

Yes, I would be glad to do that. There is a minor inconsitency in Head
(some format changes which I might roll back) so maybe not commit too
much to netstat printf(), but otherwise I would trust you with the
commits. Can you sent me your SF login and a pgp signed message to proof
your origin?

Gruss
