Don't wait for others to tell you what to do, show us the code! And what you say is even not true. I already said that I will happily sponsor a yaboot upload if it fixes reported RC bugs. This is equally valid for all the other relevant packages. Also the release team will generally approve uploads that fix RC bugs. They want to release Debian after all. </rant> Milan Kupcevic sent me a yaboot package for review today. I'll look into it tomorrow. So your assumption that there is nothing going on is simply wrong.
