I haven't been doing a lot of general patch triage lately, but Xiang's
issue report where he found and fixed an obscure problem in the new
multi-phase extension module import system [1] was a genuinely
enjoyable experience for me as a patch reviewer (and the patch itself
was complete and correct, so the only thing I needed to add was a NEWS
entry).

Cheers,
Nick.
