Yes, I have trouble keeping up with Debian work due to Real Life constrains
and would appreciate help fixing the bugs it has. A NMU would be OK, people
offering for team-maintenance would help too.

In any case, the bug reported is a very minor issue that is not exploitable
under common usage of the program.

I would have appreciated if the Security Team contacted/probed me directly
and offered help fixing this issue rather than contacting the Release
Managers straight off.  Bug reports, as mailing list emails tend to go to a
queue that I don't look as often as email targeted only to me.

Regards

Javier
