<p>I just added two new developers to <a href="https://alioth.debian.org/projects/reportbug/">the <code>reportbug</code> project on Alioth</a>, Sandro Tosi and Y Giridhar Appaji Nag, who seem to be enthusiastic about working through the big backlog of <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/reportbug">bug reports and wishlist requests</a> associated with the package. Since my Debian-related interests are largely elsewhere these days, mostly focused on <a href="http://www.r-project.org/">R</a> stuff that has a more tangible relationship with my research (and by extension my <a href="http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/4048">future job mobility and/or tenurability</a>) and a few other infrastructural things in Debian (primarily LSB support and printing), I think this is a good development overall. But still, when you&rsquo;ve been hacking away at something for almost nine years it&rsquo;s hard not to develop a bit of a sentimental attachment to it. I still plan to be doing some hacking away at <code>reportbug</code>, but hopefully the new blood can take the lead in terms of day-to-day maintenance while I work on some of the desperately-needed code refactoring issues with the software.</p> http://blog.lordsutch.com/archives/4059 http://blog.lordsutch.com/atom.cgi/entryid=4059
