I reviewed the outstanding bugs shown in
[https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#label/debian-lists/12a43a9b406864ec]
and below is a short summary of what I think needs to be done next.
The 'TODO' sections indicate something that needs to be done by a
Debian maintainer (packaging, forwarding, etc).
The 'TODO_USER' sections indicate something that could be done by a
regular user.
#406051 qpopper corrupts mailbox when quota exceeded
TODO: forward upstream?
#437746 libgtkglext1: Program exit via window manager window close
crashes xserver

TODO: close?

latest libpam-modules package

#573522 qpopper: error msg.: fetchmail: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL)
Some difference between lenny and squeeze causes qupopper to fail.
TODO: Someone familiar with qpopper may have some insight.
Or if the user provided a more detailed description of how to
reproduce this would help.

#471483 not available on ppc

it looks like it is available.
TODO: bug is from 2008, it seems powerpc is available now. close bug?
