so did nobody else in the last 12 years [0] (also: #1119193).
There were 3 attempts to move away from BDB in the last 11 months, but all
failed unfortunately.
None of those reached deity@.d.o or any other channel I would frequent,
so it is hard to count attempts that might or might not have happened
on a private hard drive and never saw the light of day.
So, lets say nobody announced in the last 12 years to have worked on it,
if that makes it more clear.
