Unfortunately the BTS isn't really in a position to know about Uploaders: fields at the moment. If you follow the link to the PTS you'll see a "Co-Maintainers" entry, though. > I'll remember to also check the changelog next time, thanks.

I certainly don't like having that many open bugs, but since the package is being actively uploaded it would probably be more helpful if you could help triage them rather than asking about the package's maintenance ... Darren Tucker (part of OpenSSH upstream) is doing that and it's very useful. Also, openssh is one of those packages that tends to attract a lot of upstream bugs which aren't realistically fixable in Debian as well as bugs that basically can't or won't be fixed, and it's inherently rather complex too. Still, the overall bug count was more like 280 this time last year. > > ISTR that I tagged that bug pending because it was fixed in upstream CVS > > and that was a handy way to separate it out.

Darren said that it was fixed upstream in http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=164797&msg=13, although I admit I wasn't very clear about why I tagged it pending. I think we probably need a 'fixed-upstream' tag or similar now that pending is more explicitly reserved for "upload will happen soon". Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
