        e) for whatever reason, changes being checked into bpf.tcpdump.org haven't recently been getting pushed 
to/pulled by GitHub.

If that were fixed, that might help with issue a).

There's also

        f) fixes checked into GitHub (including pull requests) have to be manually pulled to bpf.tcpdump.org, and the 
people checking them in aren't always doing that at the time they check fixes in

and fixing that might also help with issue a).  I don't know what the issues are in c), so I don't know whether that'd 
help there.

I'll let others address b).
