I agree that this would be the best solution in principle. However, I'm
not really the person to maintain some Perl software officially. I can
read Perl a bit and it was enough for a simple patch. But I can not
really claim to maintain this software neither will my time permit to
work honestly on things that are on the published todo list.
So I think I'll add myself to Uploaders, upload including the patch
and ping the according upstream issue about the status.
Thanks a lot for your and Daniel's trust and support
Andreas.
