That would be dkl, replacing the bzr checkout with a git checkout due to
the recent VCS issues I caused leading to non-updating of the trunk on
the bzr mirror.

It is? That's news to me, and good news. One reason I did some cleanup a
few weeks ago is that in discussion it was thought that no-one had time
to stand up a new box. Is there a bug tracking this work?
