This may be one of our biggest problems -- that such a time-critical
and important "package" is maintained by only a single volunteer.
The glibc-pre2.1_2.0.93-980414 package, for example, has been in
Incoming for 36 days, and without it half the hamm sparc dist will
refuse to install.

Ideally it shouldn't be necessary to go through antics like filing a
release-critical Bug and begging the admins to fix things like this.

But thats the position we are in currently.
