I don't see that the situation has substantially improved, though I'm of
course happy to hear that Stefan M remains optimistic.

In far too many cases, it is very hard to get fixes for warnings merged
in a timely manner, and it's even harder to get those fixes actually
released.

Here are some recent examples, to give an idea:

    https://github.com/deb0ch/emacs-winum/pull/31
    https://github.com/lewang/ws-butler/pull/40
    https://github.com/Malabarba/aggressive-indent-mode/pull/150

These examples can be multiplied at will.
