This is for releases/branch-2.18, not for screened. Apart from the tag,
version, and changelog patches, all are in reviewed.

I have uploaded a release candidate at
https://hackage.haskell.org/package/darcs-2.18.5/candidate and plan to make
the actual release unless you think we should include more patches in this
release.

Release candidate also updated.

Just to confirm I'm fine with what you propose for 2.18.5 (though I 
haven't look in detail)

Cool. I am going to finish the release today.
