This is slightly tangential to conversation. I am not a debian
devel/maintainer, but would like to bring up my experience. This has
so far been an exception to how things normally "roll" around here.

I closed all outstanding issues  for package named gpart
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=gpart;dist=unstable),to
the best of my abilities. This included a FTBFS on not linux .

 I also re-organised all of Debian patches and even did some minor
enhancements to some of them.
I have mailed 3 mailing lists twice requesting a NMU upload on my
behalf and got no response from all three of them, both the time.

Regards,
Harish
