How about if I turn the crank and release what's in master now? That is,
I run 'make fetch' and update the copyright year and NEWS and so forth,
but don't make any material changes. The fixes in master should be good
enough to release now, even if they're not what we'd like to do if we
had more time.

We've had several requests to do a new release and nothing has happened.
At least releasing what we've got will make *something* happen.
