The right place to as is our mailing list, I am just one of the many 
contributors to the project, I will try to answer as I can.

AFAIK all uploads are stored in a temporary directory before any script 
is run on them and is possible to recover them from there. I think 
Jonadab did this for the 0.19 release (which was supposed to be out of 
the door by now, but I don't know what happened with it).

The bug is nasty, I am not sure if a workaround will work, I have myself 
problems uploading files.
As for the migration to cchost, it appears stalled for the moment, but 
is our only plan.
