Hi, * Lars Wirzenius <liw@iki.fi> [2005-06-28 10:18]: > The WNPP page[1] lists about a thousand requests for packages. Do these > RFP bugs serve any purpose these days?

I mean there is no possibility for people to show what software they want to see in a distribution. In my opinion it is a completly different thing. Many people are using it so it isn't obsolete. But as Martin said there are things that can be improved. And I think to drop RFP entries after a specified period of time would be a good solution. I think the same could be done with ITP's. There are alot of ITP's open which will never get packaged. Especially those ITP's for which the maintainer found no sponsor. Most of them are never closed! For this there should be a technic to close them automatically.
