Adam, Here is what I meant, clearly: I took over the gnuplot package last week but I've only fixed 2 bugs out of 40. It's a shame because I'm supposed to handle them all when taking over the package and I did not. I'll do that as soon as possible but in the meanwhile, I've uploaded that package to put update the maintainer field and fix the easiest bugs. Depending on the situation, I'll handle the bugs that way : - if the bug is not reproducible anymore with the current Debian version, I'll close it directly with the BTS - if the bug is still reproducible, I'll ask the upstream to handle it and tag the bug as "forwarded upstream" - if the bug is still reproducible and has a known patch to fix it, I'll apply it to the Debian version, ask the upstream to merge and close the bug through the changelog during the next upload I think most bugs are not reproducible anymore because they are aged. I initially wrote this changelog header to apology for my lack of time regarding those bugs. I hope this time it's clear enough and that this would close the conversation now because I prefer spending more time on the fixes and less on the mailing lists. If you'd like to spend more time on the packages too, I'll be glad to welcome you as a co-maintainer. Please let me know. Thanks. -- Cyril Bouthors
