Maybe Flavio (or someone else) could file a Intend-To-Package bug?


When I have an "intent to package" something, I usually open a shell and 
package it right away. :)


Do you know what the purpose of an ITP is?



I recently added this note to the web page you all know and love:

   Also Very Important: I am not an official Debian Developer, so
   there's no point asking me if/when my packages will make it into
   the official Debian repository. If you are a DD and want to help,
   your help is very welcome, but please first talk with the Debian
   legal team and make sure that they will allow these packages into
   the repository.

I share Matthew's point of view, but *I* can't do anything to get the 
packages into Debian because I'm not a DD and I don't have enough free 
time to commit to becoming one. 


Would you be prepared to bring the packages in shape suitable for upload
to the Debian non-free archive and maintain (i.e. mostly deal with bug
reports entered in the Debian BTS against them; although, we could just
as well forward those to this list) them though? If so, one of the DDs
here (or any other DD, for that matter) could sponsor the uploads.
