Here is my email on that: https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/testingsquad-list/2012-March/000169.html >From Timo's comment, there is some confusion which I hope this now helps with. There is of course the problem that there is a long list of packages so it will take time. I expect another problem is that the new threshold may have to be retroactively applied in the case of this package. In any event, once Timo's issue is addressed, he can change his vote and the package should be promoted. Rob
