It's also now very hard to tell what backports have been requested and actually committed due to the move from an open process on the mailing list to tagging of bug requests, which not only takes time for people to adapt to, but also seems like a backwards step in terms of community involvement.

The intention here was to streamline the process. You can tell what backports have been requested by searching for the X-critical-request label (and its corresponding X-critical-approved) - understanding what has been committed (as opposed to merely approved) will require checking the repo for a changeset. (we've added a couple of links to the project page [2] to make this more obvious)

We're certainly not averse to resurrecting the mailing-list centric approach if the general consensus supports it however!
