And currently there are 45 "bugs" in the sponsorship queue, 5 are committed, 4 in progress, 3 triaged, 16 confirmed (one as late as 2006-03-03) and 17 new the oldest dating back to 2006-12-14. So it comes down to workload at the MOTU side. I won't discuss this here anymore, like I mentioned we have had this thread before on two mail listings. > > Not helping because you don't have upload privilages to the archives > seems a pretty poor excuse.
