Bugs and patches:
Bugs should be reported at GNOME's bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org,
product "blam").
Patches should be added to the relevant bug. If there is no bug that applies you should open a new one. This is
to make sure no patches or bugs get lost.
Known problems:
There are probably more, but here are some of the most important problems:
It consumes too much memory (though the memory footprint may still be small enough to ignore).
It still crashes/doesn't work properly with certain feeds. This is due to the self-made simple RSS and Atom parsers.
