Good, you can always always bug #ubuntu-bugs with concerns about your
bugs. Sam with this list and the bug squad mailing list if no one is
available on freenode.

You can strip the "coredump" attachment if bugs have it too.

Thanks for helping out with the accessibility packages.

If there is a bug in your list that does not have an importance indicate what importance you would give it after becoming a member of Ubuntu Bug Control. Please use urls in your list of bugs.

You forgot to mention the importance levels of the bugs. Also you have
only two, could you list more bugs (at least 5 total), quickly
describe what you did, and what importance you would assign it?

Nice job reporting, triaging, and upstreaming. Upstreaming is great for everyone

Thanks for taking the initiative to make the patch. I can't tell, was
universe-sponsors subscribed before seb commented? It might be good to
get the upstream patch into Ubuntu. That would require you bringing it
over and subscribing the relevant sponsor. If it's in ubuntu, we could
point that out upstream and see if they would adopt the changes as
well (since they apparently have not yet).

He's done a lot of bug management work for Ubuntu, but before giving
my +1 I'd like see comments on importance level for a few more bugs
(since setting importance is one of the permissions for bug control).
Overall, good work.
