Ok... but if you're presented with something like my submission don't
you use the free directory to check?

I understand this point. But I can't really accept it. If the
savannah-hackers are swamped why hasn't the issue been escalated to
FSF management?

You could at least have mailed savannah-hackers with a very obvious
message, maybe:
   WE ARE SWAMPED, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS

I don't have a lot of time. But if you're swamped with work I could
help. I have an account on subversions and access to root (at least I
did have some time ago) so the only thing you'd have to set me up on
is the savannah tools themselves.

I'm sure there are other people lurking on the savannah-hackers
mailing list who would be willing to do a short amount of time.


In the mean time I'll submit the damn project again.
