If not, I'll try to spend some time over the next few days looking at outstanding bugs, and marking release blockers, etc.
I'd like to draw attention to:
http://bugs.python.org/issue5949
Which is a regression of imaplib.py introduced in r57680.
Ever since I switched to python 2.6 on my box, I have had issues with getmail[1] getting stuck in an infinite loop swallowing memory (note: only applies to IMAP SSL connections). While this code is present in older versions of python, it seems to have become a problem recently (2009-05-06 is the earliest report on the issue) perhaps due to a version bump of OpenSSL? I never noticed the problem in python2.5 even though the code is unchanged. Nevertheless, the code is clearly wrong and should be corrected.
I would appreciate this bug being resolved before the next release as it effects me on a daily basis. I have submitted a patch, which reflects my local solution.
