I have never been using mysql-gui-tools, so I don't really know if
mysql-workbench is really a drop-in replacement. It is usable though
and I use it daily.

The status seems to be "waiting for review". I have contacted Norbert
Tretkowski quite some time ago, and after a brief e-mail conversation
he told me that he would review the package, but propably he couldn't
time to do it. The package is not lintian clean (the biggest issue
being embedded tinyxml library) so I didn't forward it to
mentors.debian.net . So in fact I do not only need a sponsor but I
need a review and some advice as well. It would be really great if you
would find time to do both.
I do not have r/w access to the pkg-mysql SVN repository, so probably
the repository does not have to be there. I have been using git to
track my changes to the package.

The only issue that was not addressed was a suggestion concerning
separating the documentation from the main package.

The newest upstream version seems to complain about autotools in sid.
As soon as I deal with it, I'll upload the package to mentors and
inform you then.

Hopefully they both will be fixed in time.
