Hi Ritesh,

No.

There is Tom Van Braeckel who seems doing maintenance work, apply
submitted patches and streamling stuff. See
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wicd-devel/wicd/experimental/changes/ and
the mailing list at https://sourceforge.net/p/wicd/mailman/wicd-devel/.
Nevertheless we -- on Debian Unstable -- are (togther with Arch and
maybe Gentoo) those who are exposed to new incompatibilites first (I
don't know what OS Tom uses, but I don't expect it to be Debian
Unstable), so we likely have to come up with patches then and when as
it happened in the past, mostly with pyuthon-urwid. But there is
someone again who imports them into and cares about upstream.
(This is _not_ meant as offense to David. I guess, we're all glad, he
started wicd in the beginning. :-)
Regards, Axel
