It would also make us more responsive when one of us is occuped and also
provide hint for would-be maintainer to help out.
BTW, Stefano, just to test a theory, would it be possible to build
libpgsql-ocaml with current testing postgresql ? If yes, maybe you (or i)
could build a testing version and upload it to testing-proposed-updates.
I built it in a testing pbuilder, and it does ok once you remove the
(>7.3) dependency on postgresql.
