Re: Lambdabot?

[Alexandre Delanoë <anoe@debian.org>]

Dear Sven and Joachim,
many thanks for your help: as non uploader DD, I recognize I am more
used to others task than packaging. But we need to give some love to
lambdabot, so I am here to help :)

I have tried to manage all the points you highlighted Sven and Joachim;
if not tell me.

Maybe one point is still confusing for myself:

I have chosen the name "haskell-misfortune", only used by lambdabot
today but maybe by others in the near future.

I have updated it and I am aware of its limits now thanks to your help.
