4) Add something like this in the changelog, too:

  * New maintainers.  Closes: #431797.

5) Really close #422396, which was reopened.  This is weird; the
   buildds did build 0.33 just fine in fresh chroots, and they didn't
   call makeinfo at all.  The bug says the build fails when calling
   makeinfo on i386.  What's happening?

6) Close #427687, too.  The bug is that boost 1.33.1 is no longer in
   unstable (only in testing), and therefore monotone 0.31-8 won't
   install on unstable.  I believe that's fixed since 0.33-3, but I
   haven't checked.

0.33-3 being in unstable already, there is no emergency there, so
"ASAP" should really be "as soon as you feel like it" :)
