Yes i know that mantis has a bad security history. Anyway i prefer to
stay on mantis instead of the alternatives in our company and also i
prefer to use packages instead of manual installations. Therefore i am
heavy motivated to care for this package.

When i decided to adopt the package, i knew that it would need some
work. I already had to invest a *lot of* work in this package, because i
had to redo a lot of things which were done half or broken in the
earlier versions. Also some things changed at upstream, which changes
the way i have to handle things. Okay, but long speak, short sin: I know
there may be much work with the package and i am willing to do it. IMO
that totally makes sense, as i would like to apply for NM in the future.
