[...] It is true that is was often quite frustrating for newcomers in the past. I have made the same unpleasant experience. Nowadays finding a sponsor isn't as difficult as it used to be. I can help you to get the mesecons mod into Debian since I run a Minetest server myself and because it is one of the most popular Minetest modifications. But it makes only sense to include them in Debian, if they are up-to-date because Minetest has changed a lot during the past two years. My condition for sponsoring is that all other mods must be updated too because they are completely out-of-date and even not suitable for servers. Regards, Markus
