Apache was more or less unmaintained until thom, fabbione and myself
picked it up in April or so. If you want to help out, please do.
Viewcvs on http://cvs.raw.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/debian-apache/ , we
hang out at #debian-apache on OFTC. Patches and bug triaging help
accepted. The usual way works: you send us patches, we apply them, we
get tired of applying patches, you get commit privileges.
So, «core packages» go without love for long periods of time as well,
unfortunately.
