Gentle ping.  I would be happy with many kinds of reply other than an
ack, for example:

 * "What this most needs is more testing.  I know you have tested it,
   but I haven't had time to test it myself.  I should have some in
   the next month and do not think this should roll out to s-p-u until
   then."

Or:

 * "I have reviewed patches cs-sparse-file and it-stray-N and started
   to review xz-lvv-invalid-free but didn't finish.  The description
   above the '---' was confusing; maybe a clearer summary would make
   it easier."

Or:

 * "That's way too many patches.  Please pick 5, test again, and
   re-upload, and we can try to get the rest in later."

Or:

 * "I don't think squeeze is worth supporting any more except for
   security issues, given that wheezy is being released so soon.  Do
   any of the above patches have security impact?"

Or, really, anything but silence.  Basically I selfishly want a feeling
of progress.

Also if there is anything I can do to help with stable maintenance
(e.g., patches to review), please don't hesitate to let me know.  That
goes always, not just when I want something from the SRMs. ;-)

Thanks,
Jonathan
