+Most work for SeaMonkey in the last weeks was fixing up the codebase for 2.53.11b1, backports and support.
+Waiting for review:
+* {{Bug|1274798}} Seamonkey integration in Gnome3. Old bug/patch which needs verification from someone more familiar with Linux.
+* {{Bug|1623054}} seamonkey-2.53.1 doesn't jump back to calling tab if a tab has been closed. Patch from '''buc'''.
+* {{Bug|1716221}} Wrong feed preview in SeaMonkey location bar when switching tabs back and forth.

+Checkin ready:
+* none
+Reviewing:
+* Bugs for 2.53.11b1 and up from '''IanN'''.
+Working on:
+* {{Bug|1296850}} Show standard loading indicator images in tab when busy or progress attribute are set. Asked someone who wants to help out to look at the icons. Got the icons but have no time at the moment.
+* Many things. Trying to get web compatibility fixes in but slow go because of missing prerequisites.
+* Bringing ICU and tzdata up to the current level for 2.53. Some progress with alignment of the intl code.
+* RDF removal with '''IanN''' for 2.53 and up. Full removal for 2.53 will only happen if it does not break critical or too many add-ons. 2.57 has mail now thanks to '''IanN'''.
+* Backporting ESR 60 and beyond fixes to 2.53. At 60.8 now but many later security backports up to ESR 91.4.1 are in.

+* Port of {{Bug|1100103}} Add a remove button to every To/CC/BCC address in Composer. No bug yet. Initial version in 2.53. Needs better styling.
+* Syncing 2.53 with Waterfox mozilla patches.

+* Fixing comm-central. Not worth it currently. Only see that it builds.
+Shelved for later:
+* {{Bug|1392929}} Port Bug 886907 [Remove old synchronous contentPrefService] to SeaMonkey.
+* Followups for {{Bug|1379369}} to TriggeringPrincipals and UserContextIDs in more functions. '''IanN''' already fixed a bunch of stuff.
+* {{Bug|1370314}} SeaMonkey 06/2017 installer rollup. Probably not much more right now. Took some parts to other bugs. and will see what is left when 2.57 is ready.
+Titbits:
+* 2.53.11b1pre has not as many new things in as I would like but is very stable.
