Forgiven and forgotten. :) Indeed I felt hurt a bit but after
considering your message a later I found it to be quite neutral and
asking me to read more carefully was appropriate. Probably this being
quite neutral was part of why I reacted this way. I really wondered
whether my little information service would be appreciated. Aside from
that I wondered whether it was useful anyway some times already as I
usually receive the devel-changes messages and know my way with apt.

And you did so. Still remember KDE Randa Meetings and Debconf in
Heidelberg :)

It is challenging for me to allocate larger chunks of time at the
moment. But I try to help were I can. I thought about packaging
something in KDE space not yet packaged, but while I do some packaging
work – fio and fsmark packages, sponsored uploads so far, but I believe
especially the fio package is very good quality –, I often thought: Oh,
these GUI things are larger and much more complex. But well, maybe next
time I read about some KDE application not yet packaged, I may just ask
on #debian-qt-kde and… at least start something to see how it goes. I am
a bit scared about doing something that would not be good enough for the
archive, but when someone reviews it…
I am grateful that Scarlett joined the team. I appreciate that she
packaged some new stuff as well as updated some packages.

I am really grateful for all your work on KDEPIM and on packaging it for
Debian. And I am really looking forward to the next major version KDEPIM
packaging update for Debian. I bet it is a lot of work and may even
require packages to go through NEW. And I understand that before that it
may be better to get updated KF5 packages into Sid and probably also
updated Plasma packages.
Ciao,
