Hi people, short time ago I've adopted the mantis package as it has been poorly maintained in the while ago. Now there _is_ a well-improved, almost all bugs-closing release in unstable, which seems to be blocked for inclusion into etch. For me, this does not make much sense. Because i don't think it is good to argue with popcon statistics here, as imho mantis is used in areas, where people are not likely to participate in popcon. As an example: We *do* use mantis in our company (which proves my interest in having a well-maintained mantis package) but we don't participate by popcon with *any* of our machines. That is because our CEOs would not want that. I am pretty sure, that there are many other users of mantis which are not known by the popcon. Otherwise: There *are* users using mantis as far as popcon knows. Therefore somebody should take care for mantis shouldn't he? Therefore i would kindly ask to reconsider mantis for inclusion into etch. Please CC me off-list, as i am not subscribed to debian-release. Thanks in advance Best Regards Patrick Schönfeld
