In this case, the maintainer is definitely not MIA. Prompted by this thread, I looked over the open bugs (and took the liberty of tagging a couple since I was looking them over anyway), and they seem fairly well-triaged to me and most have a maintainer response. The only issue with the package that I see at the moment is that there's a Hurd issue solved by an upstream release, and another upstream fix that might be relevant to Debian. (The other upstream fixes are pretty minor.) There's some other pending work, which is mostly minor. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
