Saul,

I'd like to work on upreving libtiff to 4.0.4:
    http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/v4.0.4.html
 From the ChangeLog:
2015-06-21
         * libtiff 4.0.4 released.

You seem to be the owner:
http://recipes.yoctoproject.org/rrs/recipedetail/743/

The upgrade will let us drop a bunch of CVE patches
as shown below.

Okay with you?

Is there a recipe lock mechanism to ensure that only
one person works on a recipe at a time? :)
