  Every time I get a few spare hours I glance over list of packages
 needing work, and tagged security:

 		http://qa.debian.org/bts-security.html

  Of the packages listed there 23 out of the 147 entries contain
 patches, (some of these patches may well be bogus).

  So it seems like a simple matter to apply and rebuild them, short
 of performing an NMU it seems that there's little a random developer
 could do.

  Adding more patches is something I could manage, and others too, but
 I'd worry that they'd just get left there growing old along with the
 others......
