I DID notice a certain name showing up there! ;-)

I see (some? all?) of them (plus a few OTHER things we've discussed here
even in the past few days) in the git log for GnuCash after the 3.7 tag.
:-/  Such is the nature of moving targets!

I'm a little surprised the Ubuntu people accepted this upload after the
freeze date with so many patches to the 3.7 tarball, but I gather there are
folks yelling loudly for the aqbanking fixes.
