Hi David,

I only see two bug reports from you that I haven't entered; one was on
Oct 4. (and was eventually addressed by Patrick) and another on Oct 19
(the bracket thingy).

I do remember not having dealt with the column-message-thingy-report
because it differed a bit from 'regular' LilyPond reports. (That
doesn't make it an irrelevant report, it just means I would have
required a little extra time to deal with it, which I didn't have.)

As I told Graham on -user, I am pretty sure I have never lost a single
report in the past couple of years. Bug reports are never "ignored",
even though it may take (quite) some time to file them. Do feel free
to send a report update if a particular issue is important to you; it
may encourage me to add it more quickly into the tracker, but
unfortunately it may not imply that developers will address it any
sooner.

Valentin
