Sounds really strange to someone that use the word "love", because even the
upstream could contact Christian in the last two years.
But I am not here to judge anyone, especially someone doing voluntary work.

I already maintaining a package (funcoeszz, from the same upstream of txt2tags)
in Debian. I can ask some developers to update for me, without use m.d.n (that
IMHO is doesn't work).

I already prepared a package. In fact, my package are listed in the upstream
download site, because Debian didn't provide updated packages in the last four
years.
I don't care if I will be the Maintainer or not, I am just trying to help a
friend (the upstream) and the txt2tags users to have updated packages, without
bugs.
But sadly, I am seeing that is too hard to do that in the Debian way. :(

I am doing this since last September, and I am tired. If this is the better way,
I give up. I will still maintaining my unofficial packages for the users. If
Debian would like to use it or not, is not my fault.
For sure that I will not contact Christian again. I think that his absence in
just reply a single message - because I sent several messages, and the upstream
also - is very disrespectful.

At least you tried. And many thanks for your time Mr. Tosi. :)
I give up to try to fix it on Debian. IF some day he needs help, then HE will
ask me. He has my email. Until that, the BTS will have 6 bugs for more a couple
of years I think, and the users an outdated package.
Again, thank you for your attention, and sorry if I was rude. My frustration is
not your fault.
