What a pity.  I've found and already fixed a bug in 5.2 alpha, but I'm not
inclined to send it upstream to people who've no interest in my
contribution.  Perhaps they will independently discover and fix it prior to
the final release.  Is there at least some bug-tracking database where I
could see if they're aware of it before I waste even more of my time fixing
other bugs that are perhaps already fixed?
