There are >130(!) open reports and even after taking a quick look at them I found: - several are fixed in newer releases - several are already fixed in the version in Debian - most miss a statement by James (also the one asking for an update) There is no activity and trying to contact him also failed for several people. I'm sorry, but I even cannot imagine, that James is actively maintaining this package (CCed him). However, I would feel a lot better, if he would officially orphan the package in this case, so we don't need a hijack, which has IMHO the potential for bad blood. > So, the only on-topic question is: Do we want 1.4.9 in Lenny, I guess, its simply too late, because this package is pretty important. Walking through the list of open bug reports and addressing them will need too much time I guess. But I support a maintainer change and maybe the update can be made in experimental for the moment.
