I very much like code diffs sent to the mailing list to keep everyone informed what's going on. Bug tracker traffic usually is more noisy. E.g. for Etoys we have two lists - the developer list which also gets code commit diffs, and a "notify" list which gets bug tracker updates and non-code commits (translated strings mostly). As one of the Etoys "core" developers I am subscribed to both lists, of course. So here on vm-dev, if the traffic turns out to be too much, we could create a vm-notify list. But for now I'd give it a try, at least for a couple of weeks.

It would be nice of course if the work on those tickets went back into the official VMs. So far the work going on in the git repositories has been more or less invisible. I don't think I have seen patches contributed back to the master repository at squeakvm.org?
