It does sound like time for 5.9.  We'll need someone to RM, though.

And we'll need to solve some logistics around upload permissions (IIRC, only
Oliver and I have upload access to both sf.net and ftp.zsh.org right now).

And there's the ctags patch that has been committed with some review
points outstanding.  A glance at _ctags in master shows that external
command output is passed to _values' «spec» arguments unsanitized.
I think that should be fixed (it shouldn't be possible and was pointed out in
real time).  I haven't checked whether there are any other issues in the
file as it stands.
