I am just catching up on all this now.  Sorry for the delay, I recently
started a new job and things have been a bit crazy! :)

I haven't applied for maintainership, so your sponsorship to get all the
packages in will be a great help.

My plan is to take the latest gccxml and cableswig and get the ITK
bindings built properly for Python and Tcl.  The regular package builds
just great, so I'm wondering if it would be better to just get the C++
libraries out there now as a release (or at least into incoming), then
make another update with bindings added?

I obtained v0.6.0 of gccxml from your p.d.o site, but didn't find the
aforementioned 0.7.0+cvs there or on debian.org.  Can you let me know
when it's up?

Thanks again - regards,
