that would be much welcome! \o/

well, the package is maintained by Stig (ssm) and myself and in the last 1.5
years not much has been done, as we have been waiting for the upstream
3.0 release… (which was said to be immiment for quite some time now :/

Because of this we also didnt bother to send bugs upstream, as most if
not all bugs in the BTS are filed against munin 1.4 or 2.0 and quite
some bugs have been fixed upstream in the 3.0 development phase…

yes, absolutly. once that is done, I suppose it would also be sensible
to go through the current list of bugs and investigate whether they
still happen with munin 2.999.2.

We (ssm and upstream) hang out on #munin on OFTC, though the same
channel is also available on freenode. (it's mirrored/piped.)

Please do feel very much invited to work in the git repo and also do
uploads, if you feel confident to do so :) Also I believe your work will
have a motivation effect on us :) Also upstream (hi Steve) is reading
the debian BTS too and having more 3.0 testing might convince them to
release 3.0.0 rather sooner than later.

It's starting getting late to have 3.0 in stretch.
