a) the license situation for v3 is not as clear cut as v2 because of the gracenote stuff IIRC b) it's an old bit of software - probably the only real use for it is for people with CD changers which generally aren't well supported by most CD players. Integration with gnome and KDE for exampe are IIRC non-existant c) lack of time and effort on my behalf (definitely biggest problem) d) my uploads are currently bouncing and I havn't had any response from ftp-admins as to why this is happening e) you are more than welcome to submit a patch Regarding WNPP, that could apply for alot of packages - I'm not sure it'd help much - people can see the bugs and are always welcome to do NMUs.
