I discovered midicsv last week -- its just what I needed for a project I'm working on, and seemed like a generally useful tool. Finding no existing Debian package, no ITP, and no google hits for "debian midicsv", I filed an ITP, packaged it, and uploaded it to the new queue.

Because that's what ITP's are for. I'm not sure, Santiago, how you imagine that I or anyone else might have known of your "intent" to package this.

Santiago, it is disappointing that you'd jump to the (wholly incorrect) conclusion that I had somehow hijacked "your" package or your work. Its just a coincidence that we both happened to package this on the same day (but I followed proper ITP upload procedures, whereas you didn't). -Kamal
