The thinking behind the contact was originally for requested apps, to help gather support to get that package done. Often someone can help/test but can't commit to doing it all themselves, that field was intended for people to note themselves down as a possible helper. Maybe not useful?
Might be worth splitting into two tables/pages, one as a known working and split the wanted/not working into a separate table? Votes field makes a lot of sense Garrent, added. Useful suggestions, thanks J All thoughts gratefully received.

Given a list, and a "votes" column, it might help folks decide what they should put their packaging efforts on. Just an idea.... - Garrett Hi! I've added pgadmin3 and vlc, and have a question about "Contact". Is this the contact of who proposes the package, or the contact for the package itself? If it's the second, the contacts are in the source tree... Thanks, and best regards, HeCSa.
