just saw your ITA on mantis. I'm happy to hear someone is interested in
taking it over. Feel free to work on it as you like. But don't expect me
to do something in the near future anyway ;)
Just some hints to get you started:
The current packaging is in git. The SVN repository is out-of-date
and has just been kept there, because debcheckout would otherwise
fail on non-sid/testing machines.

Cool. What I suggest to you is to work close with Gianluca Sforna,
who is working upstream and is also the package maintainer for Fedora.
He might have similar problems as you and it might be possible to
use synergy effects. Basically he is good to work with, so :)
You should subscribe to the mantisbt-dev list, because important
discussions are taking place there and it doesn't accept mails
from unsubscribed persons, unfortunately. Its also wise to get
an account for the bug tracker and ask the mantis developers to
get you developer access, because this way you can keep track
on not-yet-disclosed-security-bugs.
Have fun with the package.. best Regards,
Patrick
