Well, we might have been entering them both as I never officially
announced that I did it (I started after noticing the entry not being
up-to-date once and assumed Kern had abandoned it). Unfortunately there
seems to be no public place that shows who submitted an update, apart
from the front page at the point where the entry appears there.

I did find some mailing list archives though that mention my nickname:
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/apps/freshmeat/2006-06/0008.html
http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/apps/freshmeat/2006-06/0004.html

I also maintain the Bacula entry at Icewalkers (which I usually update
simultaneously with the freshmeat one):
http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/521080/Bacula.html
n.B. there I use my other nickname (Yeah, I know I've got too many of
them ;) )

And I used to update the entries on Linux.org and tucows. The former is
defunct (been stating "We are currently updating this section of the
site. Change submissions are temporarily disabled." for months now but I
check from time to time to see when that changes), and I had the latter
removed as it proved quite a pain to keep updated (Tucows has a very
long review queue and they kept rejecting my updates because, according
to them, they didn't manage to download the tar.gz file from Sourceforce
90% of the time. It ended up pingponging between me giving them URLs
that always worked here and getting an answer from them asking for a
different URL because the one I sent apparently didn't work. At some
point I even referred them to the Sourceforge FTPs but even that didn't
seem to work for them, so I finally threw the towel.).

Greetings,
        Michel
