I dont think anyone is 'wasting their time' on bo-updates - I think there are a lot of people such as myself who have up to date packages who would like to provide them for bo users as well. As for spending my time doing non maintainer releases of other packages, I have alread done what I could... I have a look through the list every now and then, but don't see many that I am interested in or capable of, or are sure that the maintainer is gone. Maybe we should do a definitive maintainer ping with libc5 packages - show some sign that you are going to do something, or orphan it. It's a bit frustrating not knowing if people are really active or not - I might be convinced to take some more packages just to update them, if I knew that the maintainers had abbandoned them for sure.
