Bug#542009: RFA: ispell-et

[Martin-Éric Racine]

 What does maintaining that package involve? Actual linguistic work or just
 packaging the stuff in a plausibly correct manner?

The packaging pretty much works already. Not much work is required to
keep that part updated.

However, the word list is rather small and outdated. Many words that
are factually correct end up marked as wrong. This needs to be
improved.

Tervitades,
Martin-Éric

I would like someone to take over the maintenance of this package, 
as I no longer have the motivation to continue maintaining it.

Preferably, the new maintainer whould be a native Estonian speaker 
who could contribute new words to this dictionary, because upstream
hasn't produced any release since 2003 and it really shows. 

I can assist the new maintainer in the initial phase, if necessary.
