Hi all,

  Some time ago (in March), I've sent two changegroups relating to two
new features I've added to Mercurial:

1. -A option to patchbomb & related stuff to allow sending base64 
    encoded attachments

2. Handling of *sh://host repo URLs for easier support of krb5-rsh etc.

  I've seen that nothing has happened to these changegroups. Does this
mean that they are:

a) dropped for a technical reason

b) interesting to no-one except me (& my company, which is not the 
   smallest one)

c) assumed to maintained by me

  In case of a) I would like to know this technical reason. In case of
b) I think Mercurial does require some minor patching to make it 
suitable for clients using Notes (unfortunately there are quite some
I believe), as well as better integration with (large-scale) 
environments where Kerberos is used. In case of c) I would like to
know how to contribute these changegroups to Mercurial mainline.

Regards,

Pjotr Kourzanov
