I'll just add -- if you are willing to commit to being "on the hook" to update them periodically (nothing major there) within the team, I know I'd be happy to sponsor uploads, and I'll go ahead and speak from experience and say so would Cristoph (and maybe bdale too, if you ask nicely!)
Remember - it's a team, so we share workload among us -- I think my reluctance to upload (along with Christoph's, I'm sure) is we have few hands, many packages (esp ax.25) have a lot of bitrot. Having someone commit to tend to that garden would help a great deal!

If you wanted to just maintain the ax25 packages I don't think that
would be a large time sink. Most have been sitting there for years...
Some initial cleanup would certainly be required, but we are here for
help. I can certainly sponsor uploads, and I'm sure others will be
available for that as well.

get hamnet access on 2.4GHz next week)
