We appreciate the heroic efforts of Debian maintainers and the scale
they are working at. With that said they have a shortage of dev
resources to get around to RFP proposals which tend to languish on the
bugtracker for years.
There's always a difficulty in finding a willing maintainer to sponsor
packages. @DKG if you can assist with that, then hopefully it would seal
the deal before stable next freeze. Thoughts?
