Disclaimer: this is an early version of a bug-nagging report which I'll
probably send out at irregular intervals. Any remarks should be directed to me:
Ruben Vermeersch <ruben lambda1 be>.

There's probably a lot more information that can be mentioned in here, just
playing around with the format for now.

Hello banshee developers / users / fanboys & girls!

Time for a bug report! This report is sent every week, unless I forget to do
so, so we can better coordinate the bugfixing on banshee. Our beloved media
player is getting pretty popular, so bug reports are flooding in due to wide
testing.

As a result, we're risking to enter the buggiest-top-15 of bugzilla.gnome.org,
something we should avoid at all costs. Even better, let's get the bugcount
down to zero! Everyone is invited to help out.

Boring statistics:
==================

 * Open bugs: 147 
 * Patches ready for CVS: 4 
 * GNOME-love bugs: 6 

Patches ready for CVS:
======================

The following bugs have patches which could go straight into CVS. Hence, this
section is mainly meant for abock. Please review and merge these patches or
change the patch status to the appropriate value if they still need work.
