Yes, some very few changes are from me. Some other changes are from
Chong Yidong <address@hidden>, IIRC. But since the vast majority
of the changes are from Glenn, I have no problems all (reconstructed)
commits are dedicated to him.
The major change I have contributed is the extension of the SOAP
interface by function search_est, see your commit 4bec5ac. I've offered
the Debian guys to take over; no reaction.

Yes.
And there was also something else outside the debbugs package, we have
reported to Debian (and which is said fixed now). See
<https://bugs.debian.org/734470>, don't know whether the Debian patch
has arrived debbugs.gnu.org.
