I am rather with Russel on that point. Yes, the patch has been marked 
ready for testing immediately, and I regard that as a confirmation. If 
the report and the patch slipped through cracks in the attention field 
after having been ACKed, then that's a real problem.

This is understandable, as the report inflow is huge. It would be 
interesting to define a procedure of re-synching: if a bug not taken 
care of in e. g. a month, how to "ping" to non-intrusively and without 
any judgement of the report contents but call attention to it.

Thank you, advice appreciated. I have been asking how to get attention 
of the "right people" like module maintainers etc. -- but got no answers 
until your recommendation.

I'll prepare new patches against heads of 1.6.1 and 1.6.2 branches in a 
day or two. There was a new function call added to destroy an iterator 
between 1.6.1.6 and .12, and the current patch fails against 1.6.1.12 
anyway.

Does not look like it has been used much at all? What I am missing 
somewhat there is kind of a peer "template" that would be applied to an 
autocreated peer -- you can configure a manual one in a [section] of 
sip.conf, but little can be configured in an automatic one.

Do you think such a feature could be of any interest to the community of 
users? I have not taken a decision to implement it yet, but I'll put 
that on the "pro" side of the balance.
