Sure. There's one minor outstanding issue that I'd like to get fixed
before releasing 0.4.0:

That would be awesome. The Debian package is currently orphaned. I
once tried to build an updated version, but it turned out to be more
difficult than I'd thought.

Yay!

It's no big deal; 'make release' automates most of it.

What's your PyPI username?

Upgraded.

Sounds ominous. I can still 'bzr pull' from lp:gtimelog, and 'bzr
upgrade' in my local tree removed on-the-fly conversion warnings.

I don't think there are any stacked branches created on top of
lp:~gtimelog-dev/gtimelog/trunk.

There are stacked branches on top of lp:~mgedmin/gtimelog/trunk. This
exposes an interesting bug/misfeature in Bazaar/Launchpad: When I
changed the owner of the lp:gtimelog branch, the real URL changed from
~mgedmin to ~gtimelog-dev, and all other branches that were stacked on
it became broken. I had to explicitly bzr push
lp:~mgedmin/gtimelog/trunk to make other branches work.

Anyway, lp:~mgedmin/gtimelog/trunk is still using the old format, and I
can still push to it.
