In the future, Backports may be done by Launchpad, which will eliminate the bottleneck.

For now, I think we just all need to cool down and be patient.

(1) Thanxs James!
(2) Great news! This is a big step for ubuntu's world dominance

Edit: Not all backports requested have been pushed. I'm missing gnochm.

i'm still waiting for the ones (mainly Rhythmbox) he approved and said "done" to on the 21st to hit the repository.

That\'s a separate build server issue, that I\'ve tried to resolve. The buildd admin (lamont) says that it\'ll be done soon...
