I've submitted a few patches over the last few months which I've been
keeping up to date with svn.  I'd like to bring attention to them again in
the hope that some of them may be committed before the 0.21 release.

#3910 Mythshutdown cleanup (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3910):
This is a code cleanup patch which cleans up mythshutdown and moves
isRunning to util.h so it can be used elsewhere.  Has no affect on
functionality.

The mythcontext patch removes duplicate database set/get methods from
mythshutdown and uses the ones in mythcontext instead.
The util patch moves the isRunning function from mythshutdown to libmyth
so it can be used for other things (such as #4184).

#3334 Allow mythtv-setup to use the downloadable icons from the new online
database (http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3334):
This provides a GUI in mythtv-setup to automatically search for and
download channel icons.  Can be downloaded per-channel, for all channels
or for missing only.

#4184 Auto restart mythbackend mythtv-setup
(http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4184):
This patch modifies functionality of the backend reconnect method so that
it reconnects as soon as the connection becomes available and makes the
user aware that it is trying to connect.
Mythtv-setup is also modified so that it can autorun mythfilldatabase if
desired and asks the user if they wish to stop the backend while running
mythtv-setup.  If it is not running it will not be restarted
automatically.
This allows for completely remote-friendly administration of a myth system!

#4025 DVD Eject not working properly
(http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/4025):
I modified the existing patch here to work in more situations and
especially on laptop drives.  This was tested by myself across multiple
machines with different types and numbers of drives and seemed to function
correctly for me.


Thankyou for your time,
Matthew


PS. Please don't reply to point out that the developers have limited time
etc.  I am well aware of this and they are more than welcome to ignore
this email :)
