Might I ask who you think you are to be questioning the judgement of
the maintainer of this package ?
I'm not sure if you checked any of the bugs you just closed, but most
of them are either very old or not reproducible.
If you think you can do a better job at fixing them, then please feel
free to do so.
If you feel there's a problem with something that a developer does,
then please discuss it on the appropriate list, and/or with the
developer in question.
But if you're not interested in or not capable of doing any of the
above things, then please shut up, and let the people who do the real
work ( and Christopher does a *hell* of a lot of work ) do what they
like to do.
In other words, please reclose the bugs, and present your apologies to
Christopher. After that, you might try to start a real discussion.
cheers
