Oh thanks Sergio. By the time I sent the email to Debian FTP Master, my "dbab" still exist on Debian. I.e., -- When I get the bug=903065 notice, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903065 I fixed it right away. Since it was in Debian before, do I still have to go through the usual process of putting it on mentors.debian.net, creating a RFS and finding a sponsor? Maybe, but hope not... Would you like to sponsor me please Sergio? https://github.com/suntong/dbab
