Ok. I've tried to reproduce the communication bug, but I don't know what
went wrong. But I agree with you, better now than never :)

Ok. Cool! 
We can do several things there. 

My view is that I'd like to move the git to alioth[1] and make it a
collab-maint project[2]. This makes it much easier to give people access to
the git repository and push their work there. So you'd need to go and
create a guest account and apply for access to the collab-maint project.

Then we move the repo there and you push your changes (we should set up a
dev branch for that I think). Then I can have a look and point my uploading
sponsor to it so he can review it also. 

Would you also like to be added to the maintainers? Once the package is in
a good state again I think I'll be able to continue on it, but I'd really
appreciate a co-maintainer. 

Thanks for your help! 


Cheers,
rhalina
