Correct.  

I should say that I was slightly wrong here; lush is no longer a QA
package but has a maintainer.  Still, I was doing the QA work on this
part of it, and feel some responsibility to finish what I started.

So we are waiting on the ftp team.  It's been over a hundred days, and
nothing has happened.  It seems extremely likely to me that the bug
report has been forgotten.  Yet, I've been told that pestering people
is not the right approach.

What is?
