#237071 is _not_ required for security suports. Furthermore, there is
some difference between "keeping track" and "fixing everything".

It seems to me that you might just have a wrong opinion how jobs in
debian are done. Nobody says: "Hereby, I order you, $SOMEBODY, to do
$JOB.". Instead, people like Jeroen stand up, track problems by
themselfs. Also, one package being seven days too old (and this means
a specific problem on one specific platform) is not so bad as you just
tell us all.

You're invited to help there. If you don't intend to help, then please
stop waisting our time.
