Mario and I were busy. And I was trying to update the packaging.
Our sponsor is on vacation, we planned to upload when he
will return.

We made that DSA happen.
And we were told more than once, that the sarge fix would
propagate to unstable und ultimately testing. This did not
happen. Not our fault.

packages.debian.org/cgiirc has it in testing.

Mario and I are happy, that you're now maintaining this
package. It frees us for other open source work we have to
care for and our real life.
As I still have some stuff for cgiirc packaging in my local
trees (partly by Paul Wise), I will file bugs with patches,
so you can consider including them.
