Advice on a certain maintainer
Hi,
When I wanted to use some md5 library for perl, I out of habit did a
maintainer-check on the package... and was a bit disappointed.
I'll let these URL's speak for themselves:

(and quite some others like these)

(not much seems to have changed since)
To his defense, he's really a long-time contributor, and he did an
upload in March. It also seems he has done (according to his own
statements, I did not verify that, but have no reason to doubt it) very
much and very hard work in the past, amongst other w.r.t. dpkg and the
like. I really don't know what to do about this, because of the
above-quoted thread, I'd like your opinion first before burning my
fingers on the issue.
