[BUMP] r-cran-readstata13 had five weeks in NEW queue for two uploads



Bumping this as my mail to ftpmaster went unanswered.

Could someone please remind me who to ask about the NEW Queue?  It is causing
me a FTBFS as I need this Build-Depends for an existing package which itself
has reasonably wide-spread (for an R package) reverse dependencies.

Anyone who can help?  

The passive-aggressive "we won't work on your package, and won't tell you
why" is a wee bit annoying.
