I volunteer to archive CVS top-of-tree into separate branch and then revert
specific ChangeLog commits to bring CVS top-of-tree into a state ready to
accept new commits for a future 1.12.14 release.
I'm guessing that CVS top-of-tree would look much like the 1.12.13a patch
does now.

Thank you!

I volunteer to merge 1.12.13-MirDebian-11 release changes into CVS
top-of-tree if publicly accessible and as requested.

I believe I can retrofit bug fixes made to 1.12 into 1.11 branch.
