The version in jessie of my package WordGrinder is painfully old and has a
number of showstopping bugs (document corruption and loss of data). The next
available version in Debian is the version in stable, 0.6-3, which has fixed
these bugs and also contains major functionality improvements.
0.6-3 builds on jessie out-of-the-box with no repackaging required, and so I
would like to propose the version from stable to be included in the next jessie
point release.
(No debdiff is attached as it's empty!)
Disclaimer: as well as being the package maintainer I'm also the upstream
author of WordGrinder (and it's my considered opinion that WordGrinder 0.5.1
needs to be taken out of circulation as quickly as possible before it starts
hurting people).

Sorry for letting things stall at that point.
The final point release for jessie before it becomes LTS closes this
weekend, and I think it's safe to say that this update isn't going to
make it, so I'm closing the request now.
