Bugzilla is usually the best way, I guess Dan hasn't had time for this
one yet :( I'll try and bring it to his attention.

I mentioned this on the bug, but 0.9.9.0 -> 0.9.10.0 is a major upgrade
and probably too dangerous a change in a core component like NM for a
stable release. What would be better is if we can identify the specific
commit that fixes the bug, and backport that fix.

Thanks, and sorry we didn't get to the report before now.
