Somehow I cannot remember devfs patches from you - was it in the time
when Adam was the main developer? Currently BenC is working on basic
devfs integration, feel free to help.

What we need is a database with simple mailing list function (similar to
PTS) where willing sponsors for a certain package can subscribe and
sponsorees with much motivation can send diffs for the next version
upgrade. Easy to review and check, easy to build and upload. And easy to
comment and communicate with other sponsors or co-maintainers.
MfG,
