Not too much. Quick (and maybe incomplete) summary:
- test the "multiple server support" patch we received via github, and
  decide if it is good enough to go into 3.0
- make sure SVN and github are in sync
- have some free time to do that ;-)

Time is the biggest problem - I spent quite some time on the AppArmor 
tools recently and want to finish a patch series there before I can get 
back to PostfixAdmin. Oh, and my day job also needs me.

AppArmor did a beta release just some days ago for 16.04, so maybe you 
can still submit PostfixAdmin 3.0 beta (+ a patch with SVN changes since 
the release)?

(I don't know the Ubuntu deadlines or the release schedule, so please 
check yourself.)

If you don't want to submit 3.0 beta, can you at least upgrade them to 
2.3.8?

Yes, I know ;-)

Feel free to use 3.0 beta3 (= 2.93) - just ignore the beta label ;-)
Judging on the download numbers, a lot of people do this [1], and the 
number of bugreports we receive it is _very_ low.

[1] ~1400 downloads of 2.93 _per week_? Really? :-)
    For comparison: 2.3.8 has ~250 weekly downloads.
