Spice/QXL maintainer AWOL, can someone update?

[Jason Briggs <royalsheeplauncher@zoho.com>]

Hello, sorry to disturb, a resource said to contact this list: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/beyond-pkging.html#mia-qa

There is a very impeding bug in the kvm spice/qxl package: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=801081

The maintainer replied once and then disappeared. The issue seriously affect using Debian with KVM and it is dragging on for a long time. Ubuntu and fedora have patched. Can someone apply the patches to Debian Sid and Stretch?

I also have a question I repeat here, can the patches can make it into Jessie? The workaround is only partial and there is none for existing live CDs without rebuilding the CD. I deal with it for too long on my own and downstream distros as well.

Thank you
