I do need a DD to "vouch" for me, don't I ? I don't know how busy my first (and only regular) sponsor is, he's been away for a few releases..I hope he'll reply if I ask for some help.

Yes you,re right, perhaps that is a cause as well. Usually, RFS were closed in a matter of days before for this package. Jia's actions did produce some shockwaves in the FOSS/Linux world for sure.. Have a great day, I'll look into starting the new member process ! Alexandru Mihail > > Mathias > > [1] -- https://nm.debian.org/public/newnm
