For a long time I wanted to have a project for inkscape on alioth. There are
some people who could well work together there and it would take workload away
from me. The reason I did not do it yet, is that I wanted to clean up the
package and bring it in a proper state before I take care of an alioth project.
I guess getting an alioth project immediately would have been better.

Salvatore, I go through your package now and prepare an upload for the next few
days.
Generally, I don't have any objections against NMUs, especially if someone like
me is not reacting in time.

With best wishes,

Wolfi
