Re: RFS: trac (updated package)

Hi Luis, [...] (trac uploaded to mentors) It seems that trac is team-maintained, and some members of the team are indeed DDs. So, why don't these sponsor the upload? I'd offer to take a look at the package and sponsor the upload if it looks alright, but just don't want to interfere with the team.
