You know what?  The list is sick, purely sick.

You should probably inform each submitter as well.  This could be
considered as reminder for him as well as a way to intervene if he's
still working on it/gave up or whatever, so he could retitle or
reopen the bug report.

You may also take these comments into account.  I haven't checked
if the person who sent an ITP is also working on them.  That's left
to you for practice. :))  If they're not equal the bug should probably
be retitled, if not then not but the submitter probably should receive
a reminder.

(sidenote: mail sent to nnn-submitter@bts is also publically logged
in the bts, so no need to send a mail to nnnn-submitter@bts and
nnnn@bts)

Contact Shaleh, I seem to recall he waited for an upstream release or
something.  We already had that package but it was abandoned later.
