Could I please ask, for my sanity, that we use ISO 8601 dates?  Living
and working in the USA, I always get mentally confused between
DD-MM-YYYY and MM-DD-YYYY (either way).  To help out, I will convert the
dates in your list.

A brief history:

Oh, and thank you, Graham, for putting so much effort into organizing
Lilypond development.  One of the lessons learned IMO, though you may
not like it, is that active leaders are necessary to push along a
project of this size.
