It’s now been a month since this mail. Are you still interested in ticgit? It’s no problem if you don’t want to maintain it any more, but it would be useful to sort this out, as I don’t see myself in a position to heavily modify the Debian version of ticgit when patches won’t be incorporated upstream.
