Aha, I was puzzled about:
...
Maintainer: Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>
Changed-By: Lars Wirzenius <liw@iki.fi>
...
I thought you are member of QA Group and did this upload.
A similar thing was previously happen (I still wrote it), because that
I cry into 2 lists.
I'm sorry.

It seems I missed your mail on debian-devel, perhaps caused by big
amd64-traffic last days. ;-)
I read in DWN that gif2png was orphaned, so I saw my chance to solve the
bug that I filed agains it by myself.

Unfornately, no.
Maintainer still is "Debian QA Group <packages@qa.debian.org>".
That was the thing that puzzled me.

That I also still fixed. ;-)

That would be great. I'm not a DD yet, and it is hard this time to find
a sponsor on debian-mentors.
Otherwise my package had won the race. ;-)

Thank you for information. I have translated man pages into German, which
I'd like to see in sarge.
Should we do an upload very soon to fix Maintainer:-Field and add man ages or
will new version come these days?
Kindly regards,
Erik
