I did sometimes start to go through the ITPs using the same algorithm (whether an inactive ITP should be closed or renamed to RFP usually depends on the package - if e.g. upstream is dead it doesn't make much sense to rename it to RFP) but I never managed to make a complete run through all of them. I did also once start to go through the RFPs and I was wondering how many of them were dead projects. After eliminating RFPs for dead projects a final goal would have been to send the list of open RFPs once to debian-devel. The main problem is that it's very much work if every six months a person comes and tries to go through the WNPP bugs. That's something I hope it will become with my proposal of testing tasks - there are people responsible for WNPP who try to get such things done reguarly (either by doing it themselves or by asking for help on debian-qa or eventually debian-devel). cu Adrian
