bug, dupload, and lintian are getting Python rewrites because people who
like that laugnage think they can do better. I'd have to agree that both
reportbug and dput are (though dput was not when I first tried it - weird
problems that have resolved themselves with a few more revisions..) We'll
see about linda.
If you think you can make a better tool than one that exists, make it. I
don't care what you write it in as long as it works well. I don't think
anyone else does either. =)

Since this database is not used for profit, and since entire works are not
published, it falls under fair use, as we understand it. However, if any
half-assed idiot decides to make a profit off of this, they will need to
double check it all...
