HI all, I have no personal opinion on python, but seeing that the maintainer has not stepped up and at elast *explained* what is going on and why we are lacking behind several releases is not a good sign.

You should behave, too, and not starting calling other "ass", that does not help anyone. What is needed is a statement of the maintainer on what his plans are and why there are problems. If he does not come up witha decent argumentation that should simply be discussed in the technical committee and the package handed over. Insulting as you (Lucas) did does not help, your insults were worse than what the OP wrote.

I think the OP did clearly specify what are the problems in this area, and it seems that the maintainer didn't respond by now. So what is the problem with social skills, maybe you are the one lacking them?
