Its on my todo list. Unfortunately the build time takes some time and I
will not stress test the battery of my laptop. Reminding is fine in any
case. :-)

While ftpmaster can deal with more than one version in the new queue I
personally wait until a package is accepted.

I admit new queue can be stress test the patience of newcomers. To be
short: You can never know how long a package takes. Despite the name
is "queue" its not a FIFO procedure. Sometimes its helpful to give some
hints about priorities and why a package might be more important than
others. BTW, I even had send a mail to ftpmaster ranking your packages
in the category "Would motivate newcomer" which was below "needed for
bcbio" package. Seems that ranking was not helpful to proceed with the
list I gave. :-(
Kind regards
Andreas.
