Hi, Mattia
No problem. Upstreams also tend to tell about new versions to
lo-dictionaries rather than to our standalone Debian dictionaries,
so this shoud be better for the future.

As I was involved in dictionaries policy I have been acting as primary or backup
maintainer for a number of dicts, so I currently maintain some of the
standalone hunspell dicts.
I would not mind to cooperate with lo-dicts, but do not expect a big help, I
am currently rather busy with other things.
