Are you sure "through 10.01.2" is correct?

https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=5e65eeae225c7d02d447de5abaf4a8e6d234fcea
https://git.ghostscript.com/?p=ghostpdl.git;a=commit;h=fb342fdb60391073a69147cb71af1ac416a81099

seem to be the corresponding commits in the 10.01.2 release.

FYI: If someone cares to give karma on the F37 update then that one will go stable, too. F39/F38 are already.

All the others bugs are locked. Good luck :)
