Re: Of mice and men, but mostly mice
Hello Tony,
The standard procedure is to file a wishlist bug against the 'wnpp' package by
sending email to 'submit@bugs.debian.org', with subject
'RFP: <package> -- <description>' and the lines
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
at the top of your message.
Sounds like an interesting program. I look forward to seeing it in Debian. :)
Regards,
