No, I didn't send a ping to him but just took a quick look at the open bug reports for x-symbol and searched for answers of him to these reports (which are very old partially). How can I find out if a DD is MIA? I looked at <URL:https://db.debian.org/> and <URL:http://qa.debian.org/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> but these didn't show much information. Is the echelon service (mentioned in the Developer's Reference) only available after real logins at db.d.o? > In the meantime, you could prepare an updated package. If you're not > a DD, it doesn't matter. Yeah, but then I would probably need to beg a DD for sponsorship, right? I have already thought of preparing an updated package of x-symbol but then I just decided to install the current upstream package (which also doesn't seem to be heavily maintained nowadays) via the given instruction for GNU Emacs on the webpage. If I created a native Debian package of the new upstream version there would be the problem that I can't test it under XEmacs since I only use GNU Emacs. > BTW, could you please shorten your message IDs?

Well, actually the length of my MID is RFC-valid and is my personal revenge to OE users who always put the referenced MID into the attribution line. I'll think of changing the MID for this list.
