This happens again and again... Quite a few maintainers don't seem to realize that mails sent to n...@bugs.debian.org are not sent to the bug submitter, and the bug tracking thus halts down completely when the maintainer asks for information only to the bot, and not to the human.
I don't know how it happens that maintainers get to reply only to n...@bugs.debian.org , my only guess is that they just don't know that it's not sufficient to mail the bug, so I guess the only solution is to repeat it over and over :/ Samuel
