This Week In Servo 75

2016-08-15 What's up with Servo for the week of 8 Aug 2016 - 15 Aug 2016

In the last week, we landed 108 PRs in the Servo organization’s repositories.

Thanks to the community for their patience while our continuous integration services were were in a more manual mode as we adapted to some changes from Travis CI that complicated our autolander. Things should be fine now - please reach out in #servo if you see anything!

We are delighted to announce that long-time contributor Michael Howell (notriddle) has been made a reviewer! Thanks for all of your contributions and congratulations on your new role.
