[dbcp] Jumping in...

There is a growing backlog of bugs open against [dbcp].  Unless other
committers object, I am going to jump in and start committing patches
and develop a maintenance release plan.  I plan to start with

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33591
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38073

I would appreciate any feedback that community members have on
prioritization of open tickets.  Also, as always, tickets with patches
and test cases are likely to get addressed quicker and comments /
testing / feedback are always welcome.

Any help from other commons committers, even if just in the form of
screams, will be most appreciated.

Phil
