I have now tagged 0.10_rc2, which mainly has doc changes since _rc1,
except for two patches trying to make the test suites use of dtach more
robust.

The emacs tests are still failing on the Debian autobuilders (not sure
why) and in places where TMPDIR is set to some absurdly long path. We
may or may not need to fix this before release.

The license of notmuch-deliver is a concern. notmuch-deliver is GPL2
(only) and notmuch is GPL3+. Now, I'm fairly confident that notmuch
upstream is not going to sue, but it seems that binaries of
notmuch-deliver are probably not distributable according to a strict
reading of the licenses (or the FSF FAQ).

We still are missing a few NEWS items; some of which which we could
perhaps ignore.

This is probably ignorable from a NEWS point of view.
