   Thank you for stopping by and for your valuable contribution.
Unfortunately you observations are a bit biased. Let me show another point
of view.

   There is no any "spam-problem". In 10 days of October there were 18
messages in the mailing list, only two of them were spam. No problem here,
a little annoyance at best.
   On the other hand asking a hundred of people to resubscribe would be a
real pain.

   They should not. There are a lot of tasks in our TODO, some bigger, some
smaller. SQLObject is being used in free and proprietary applications, so
these tasks are real tasks. No need to invent tasks nobody is interested in.

   Absolutely! This time I agree with you 100%! Please install Trac at your
hosting provider and be our Trac admin. Import the data from the SF
tracker. You don't need to do it manually - there are tools for automatic
import.
   When you are ready - send instructions how to register and where to
login.

   May be activity here is so low there is nobody who really can make such
a warning. ;) Or may be activity is high enough there is no need in any
false warning.

2All: Many thanks to all good people who have expressed support!

Oleg.
