These issues are for 1.2.2. Who is maintaining it by the way?

We maintain the current released image. But when people provide easy to integrate, clear and useful bug fixes for older versions, we integrate them.

(this was done for 1.1.2, it has all fixes that where added for 1.2.2)

Of course it would be possible (and I would prefer it), if a group of 1.2 users could take that over (e.g. commercial users that are actually using 1.2)

The idea would not to actively develope it, but just make sure that all the fixes are added that make sense (bug fixes, mostly). *And* make that driven and coordingated by actual users of that version. This way we make sure that a release gets important fixes as long as it is used.

We could have such a group for just every version released: It gets "handed off" to the people using the release. This group than of course, with time, gets smaller, and in the end fades away.

The most important effect of this would be to not burn people maintaining old versions they don't use themselves...
