RE: How to be a great Debian Developer
Bas,
I've looked at this page and had a brief discussion with Bastian on it. I'm
somewhat of a noob to Linux and really green on the development side so my
question was. How do I know if any of these packages listed on this page
are even still in use? Many of the bug reports for a lot of these packages
are well over a year old. Also, I need to start on some that are a little
smaller to align with my current skills (or lack thereof) to get started.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!!

There is already such a script, see http://qa.debian.org/man-pages.html
