I do intend to push the library, but I actually don't
have a map of Debian applications which use SRV
records. I'm planning to contact those applications
(i.e. their maintainers) as soon as I find them,
but I would like to have the packaging ready first,
so to ease things.

AFAIK, there is no RULI bindings for other languages.
I suppose this kind of binding is a good way to
widespread SRV awareness; one that I've been missing.
While I'm at this I could even try to provide
one for PHP though. Or for Perl. Java? Let me do
some research.

How do you find they are "active"? So far I have
tried to contact hmh@debian.org and macan@debian.org,
without success.

This option will require a couple of months. I don't
think I have promising alternatives though.

I agree. Most unfortunate.

Thanks for the guidance!
