whats the status of increasing the bus number of gpleda.org?  Last I 
knew it was 1 which worries me a little.

actually, there is one aspect I'm not happy with and that is the commit 
emails.  I much preferred a commit email where the from was from the 
person who committed the change and the subject had something to do with 
the change.  Now I get an email and rather for scanning for something 
interesting I have to click it and scroll partway into the message to 
learn anything about what happened other than there was a change.

If we could fix that it would be much appreciated.

We need to make sure that Stefan is on board with this since it is still 
his project and if anyone has any changes in progress, we need to make 
sure that the switch doesn't mess that up for anyone.
