Hi Paul, > Just a brief reminder that I havent heard back from anyone. > You might have noticed the thread started by Asheesh (with [1] being my reply). Your RFS email is prime example of those messages usually failing to pass my "filter". So what's wrong this RFS email: - The package name "dbmail" isn't all too specific. Once I looked at the package page I noticed that I would indeed be interested in using such a software, but that I wouldn't have guessed from the package name alone. Well, in this case I must add that the short description "base package for the dbmail email solution" is not that useful either (saying that dbmail is dbmail...). - This "(updated package)" mainly tells me "can be ignored, they already had a sponsor earlier on". > This package has received sponsorship from various people in the past, > who have indicated lack of interest in continued sponsorship, or have > stopped replying to requests. Some of this may be because of the long > intervals between package updates, which is wholly my fault since I'm > the upstream maintainer as well. > > Still, I'd really like to have updated packages uploaded. > [...] I can't say that I'll take a look at it rightaway, but I'll take care of it in the next days. Meanwhile please contact the debian-l10n-english list to ask for a review of your package descriptions (and please improve the short descriptions - I guess this is email *server* software, but this isn't clear), add a Homepage field to your package (doesn't seem to be there, at least there is no link on packages.debian.org/sid/dbmail), make sure it is lintian clean, etc. Although reply-to is set to the list, feel free to contact me in personal mail. Best, Michael
