Font Lock and C++/C bugs

[Marshall, Simon]

Apologies for sending to these lists, but I don't know the best place to try
to find out the status of previously raised bug reports (or whether it is
worthwhile continuing with these sorts of bug reports).  The below email to
Alan Mackenzie bounced after a week, and I didn't get a response to any
Font-Lock/C++ bug reports raised since Aug to bug-cc-mode.  (He originally
responded to the first 2.)

Any ideas?  Thanks, Simon.

Hi Alan, I don't know if this should be sent to you, rather than
emacs-pretest-bug/cc-mode-bug, let me know.  Thanks, Simon.

These are the 6 bugs I've raised so far.  I'm trying to find out their
status.
All but the 2nd are regressions wrt Emacs 19/20/21; the 2nd is partly
regressions.
I don't know anything about the status of the last 4.

I would have a go at fixing them, but the new integrated font-lock/cc-mode
stuff is less of regexp, more of code, and the learning curve looks steep to
say the least.

Font-lock misfontifies foo::bar in C++
        first raised Jun 22, last response Aug 16
        I then explained why, whatever the desired fix aught to be, the
        new behaviour is wrong and the old behaviour should be used
        until the desired fix is in place, but since then no response

        Stefan Monnier posted a patch to progmodes/cc-fonts.el 
        for part of this bug (but it is not checked in to CVS) and
        suggestion on fixing the rest of the bug
        Maybe this bug got lost in the ensuing emacsen namefest
