I'd AT> call this weak arguing (at best). Then I suppose my English is not up to yours, as I still fail to understand how that paragraph above of mine can qualify as "arguing".

Why do you say that "(I) leave potential helpers completely unclear about (my) intentions"? If you are looking for a timeline, I'm sorry, but I don't feel like promising.

If you're saying that you need some sort of official blessing to have the problem "qualify for a NMU", you have mine. If you're saying that you would rather to have myself working on the issue, then please wait. If you mean something other, sorry, I do not understand.

I do not see how I am blocking any package. You need not to maintain a package to help packaging, nor do you need it to upload it. AT> debian/control says: AT> Maintainer: Davide G. M.
