Ah, ok. Thought you were talking about conspirations how DDs are not
allowed to work on the inside of Debian's infrastructure. Like,
improving the BTS or katie or whatnot.
Did you ever use Sourceforge? How difficult would it be for you to setup
a Sourceforge-like project to distribute and maintain your driver? What
would be the initial cost of setting it up, what would be the cost of
maintaining it, compared to maintaining the package now?
(One cannot start projects for non-free stuff on Sourceforge, of course,
but somebody could setup a similar service for www.nonfree.org. Asking
the Alioth admins how difficult that would be might be a good first step)
