Well, as jvw said, you should have contact me before O: this staff,
but in this case you are actually welcomed.
The reason why Debian's sitecopy is so dated...the current Debian
version is the last one as far as I know which contains a working
xsitecopy (GNOME1 frontend). Now it doesn't even build and GTK1
became a relic of the past. At that time I thought someone will port
xsitecopy to GTK2, but after 2 years I think it won't happen any soon.
And I anyway forgot about sitecopy (I don't use it anymore). In
short, I almost lost my interest in sitecopy now.
So if you want to take over the maintainership of sitecopy, go ahead.
Or, I'll package new version of sitecopy without xsitecopy, but it
won't happen soon (Recently I'm back from the thesis hell and
concentrate on packaging Ghostscript stuff. Also still fighting with
a pile of mails.)
Best regards,
MH
