The offer for help is definitely appreciated! I should've linked to
this in the original mail:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93823

We've been using this kind of tracker meta-bug system for the last few
releases, and it works well from a release management perspective.
Could bump the priority to blocker once we freeze so that
discoverability is better.
