That sounds reasonable. I think a good policy in a case like this is, "if a co-maintainer interested in this feature (support for platforms that don't use NPTL) doesn't step up, I am dropping it". In other words, the burden for keeping such a feature is even higher than you said --- what is needed is not a porter but someone interested in and familiar with both the package and linuxthreads. The problem with saying "that's the porters' job" is that then nobody will want to be a porter. :) Thanks for your hard work!
