The best way is to report an issue here:

http://bugs.libgd.org

About a 2.0.35, if there is a critical issue (security flaw for
example), I would like to release a fix as soon as possible.

In general, there is no minimum time between releases. It only depends
on our availability and resources to test a RC and valid the final
release. It should not exceed a week between a RC and the final
release for the 2.0.x branch.

Does that sound reasonable?

If no new bug has been found in the next four weeks, I will release
2.0.35. There is two known bugs I like to have fixed in a release. One
is the bug #41 (gdImageFillTiled off-by-one issue) and the other are
about the custom cmake macros. I forgot to include them in 2.0.34.
