I better add that I wrote him (a bit later) about the release plan,
and that mgetty needs an update and said the following ways (in order
of preference):
| - You upload a working package
| - You appoint me as a co-maintainer and I upload a working package
| - I'm doing a NMU with your blessing.
| - I'm doing a NMU without your blessing, which I wouldn't like.
| - Someone else is doing a NMU with using the patches in the BTS, which
| I even like less.
(and I said that I would like it even less if there is no updated
mgetty in sarge.)
He said on 19 August that he'll upload "during the next days" - but
nothing has changed.
Cheers,
Andi
