Are you suggesting devs should.... Work?!

Regarding path review, I reviewed patch for bug #5880 with its author, it's incorrect.
So, one less to review.

Regarding regression, bug #5641 has been assigned to me, as my commit revealed the bug.
BUT if the patch revealed the bug, it's not the patch itself which caused the bug.
Function is correct (regarding test cases). So anyone is free to take that bug. Don't
hesitate to bug "Caemyr" about it, IIRC, he looked at it.

For the rest, dont' hesitate to assign me bugs/regression you think I may handle.
I'll try to do my best about it. Can't promise more, sorry.

So, now, lock trunk :D.
And release!
