Most (or almost most :) of the bugs seem like they were fixed some time
ago. Some of the bugs look like usability issues and I will get to those.

My other "big cleanup" job was with lpr, which I think is now in a much
better shape then when it was orphaned. This is another small, yet
important to me, package that was neglected way too long.

As to netmrg, well, it looks OK. I guess it depends what one needs. All
I need it to get some SNMP data into a graph form. For me mrtg is
perfect for what I need it.

The new mrtg (0.11) will probably not make it into Sarge due to the
freeze. The one in Sarge is quite usable without any major bugs.

And finally, I will not be needed a sponsor :)

Sure. I will look over the bugs and try to get the vast majority
closed/fixed. I didn't know that Jeroen tried to contact Shiju until I
read his reply to you yesterday.
