Hi Grégory,

To be honest, I haven't processed gdal2tiles tickets for years as an experiment to see how 
much time it would take for an existing or new contributor to step up ;-)
I'd suggest you to submit pull requests on the github mirror so that the Travis-CI tests are run 
on your patches. And I'd strongly encourage you to write new tests in ../autotest/pyscripts/
test_gdal2tiles.py for each issue fixed.
