I don't know about Alioth, but if this is true, someone *really* ought to look into whether the security bug in #328224 applies to the gforge package in Debian! Also, I just want to clarify that I'm not directly asking for removal of any of the packages I listed (yet) -- I will go through and try to contact all of their maintainers first, then report back to QA. Guess we can consider this subthread as part of that process :-) -- Kevin B.
