pygame 1.5.3 is already in incoming. I generally build them as releases come
out, but I've missed the last two point releases (1.5.[12]) due to "matters
beyond my control" :)

Also, submitting wishlist-severity bugs about new versions is definitely
fine with me, although I am always working on it as fast as I can.

(Also note that as of pygame 1.5, the pygame packages are called
python2.[12]-pygame, in accordance with convention.)
