As we are all volunteers, I appreciate that you may not have time to do what this package needs. That is not an accusation, just a statement of facts. What you could maybe have done is reassign this package to maintainer-needed, as that seems to be more accurate. But it is co-assigned to the mythtv herd, and the other herd members have also not helped out in this issue. > My response was [...] please stabilize it. I'm running it on a stable > machine.

But then the issue came up that we really need a news item. > As far as the news item goes, as I've said before.

I actually haven't heard anyone saying we don't need a news item, apart from you. But I'm happy to defer to QA, whatever they think is the best solution.
