The package libofx has not been updated in three years, and has severe outstanding (fixed in upstream) crash bugs against it. The result of this is that gnucash will crash if one attempts to import data from american express into it. It appears that upstream has tried contacting the maintainer[1] recently with little success; I have sent an email of my own a few days ago, and am CCing him on this mail as well.
I've created an updated version of the package and pushed it to github[2] as a git-buildpackage formatted repository; in a situation like this, should I wait for a while to see if my own mail to the maintainer is responded-to, or simply go and request a NMU here immediately? If the latter, is the github package good enough, or should I upload to mentors.debian.org? Also, in the package I pushed, I made a number of lintian fixes and other cleanups; would these be considered beyond the scope of a NMU? Please note: As I use Ubuntu on my desktop computer, I'm not sure if I'd be a good candidate for a proper maintainer, as I can't test in a native debian environment. I have, however, performed cowbuilder builds using a debian-unstable chroot environment, and tested the resulting binaries with gnucash on my ubuntu system. If this isn't a problem, though, I'd be happy to take maintainership of the package.
