There was some talk of turning FTP access off completely and
only allow mirror sites.

You are talking about two different things here. Use a mirror
site to get a source release. As far as bug fixes go, there
are not many of them since not a lot of them have been fixed
recently. You can look at the individual bug reports to see
if a patch has been posted. Some are fixed already and will
be incorporated into the next release. In the future, we
will have CVS up and running.
