Then I'm confused. I can think of only 3 factors that influence this. 1) the work has to be licensed in a way that we can modify it to fix a bug (not necessarily true for stuff in non-free) 2) someone has to be willing and able to fix the bug 3) that someone has to grab the package and fix it All three factors are required today. -- G.
