There is consensus that we need to do a 0.7.1 release to fix the
"click on a bitcoin: URI and nothing happens" bug on Windows.

I would really like to fix the "I upgraded from a binary running an
incompatible version of BDB and now I get a DB_RUNRECOVERY error on
startup" problem, too, and I've got a pull request that fixes half of
that problem (plus a bunch of other "my wallet is broken" cases):

"Handle corrupt wallets gracefully" :
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1895

This pull request:

"Add -reindex, to perform in-place reindexing of blockchain data
files" : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1870

... could be the basis for fixing the other half of the problem (if
blkindex.dat is bad, delete it and re-create it from the blk000?.dat
files).

Are there any other very-high-priority pull requests that should go
into a 0.7.1 release?

I'd like to pull:

"P2P: Do not request blocks from peers with fewer blocks than us" :
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1834
"In listaddressgroupings push down the IsMine check to run on each
input." : https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1872

... and these which could be considered fixes to the new raw transactions API:

"Add redeemScript to raw transactions API"  :
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1818
"Add new RPC "lockunspent", to prevent spending of selected outputs" :
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/1861

We definitely need that one in.

Agreed

I think we should also pull #1859 "add LOCK() for proxy related
data-structures" Missing synchronization primitives are a sure way to
get reports about random crashes.

The rest can wait.

Agree, though needs testing

Agree

Agree, though sipa raised a valid issue.  lockunspent, like the
existing listunspent, is wallet based.

As raw transactions might spend outputs _not_ in the wallet,
lockunspent would miss those.

I think this is OK, because listunspent is already wallet-based, but
it should be noted.
