You didn't do an ITP. You did an RFP, that's different. (a RFP is a request
that someone package a program you found out to be useful; an ITP is to show
everybody your intention to package a program)

Again, I'm sorry if it was your intention to package xdiskusage yourself. Since
you filed an RFP, ... I became interested in xdiskusage and ITP'd it. Better
make sure you tag your bugs properly next time.
By the way, please file this bug under xdiskusage itself, as bug #88163
concerns the ITP only (it's filed against wnpp). I've seen the bug is real, so
please file it.
Thanks,
Carlos
