buxy explained how this works.

Once it is in testing we can put it in wheezy-backports:
http://backports.debian.org/Contribute/
DSA will be willing to install it from there.

I don't think DSA would like that either.

Interesting thought... the transition has indeed been annoying.
Lets turn this problem on its head a bit....
One issue here is that we were using software as a service instead of
running software on our own machines. Thus we had no control over
changes to the service. I never really liked the centralisation aspect
of identi.ca and our use of it.
Related to that is that the Debian identica messages are not backed up
on any Debian server (I made a backup on my laptop), are not on the
Debian website and are not translated or translatable.
How about we move the source of messages to the Debian website, have
the website generate RSS feeds containing them (webwml already has RSS
stuff) and then use the various RSS to whatever services for getting
that out to the StatusNet, pump.io, Diaspora, Twitter, Facebook etc
social/microblogging networks. By doing this we also enable more
Debian folks to post messages out to the social network cloud.
Do you think this would be practical or a good idea?
