Comment 7 for bug 11177

> Debian has an util-linux maintainer who does nothing at all.
> I have not received a single bug report from him.

If you want to know what bugs are present in util-linux that have been
reported by Debian users, please look at:

    http://bugs.debian.org/src:util-linux

If you were to scan that list from time to time then it would save the
Debian maintainer the secretarial work of forwarding bug reports to you.

I have spoken to LaMont about the problem of maintaining util-linux. He
said that he would like to import the package sources into arch and
assemble a maintenance team. I assume that he is too busy these days to
do much about those plans.

But while we are discussing developers' shortcomings, perhaps you can
explain why you haven't applied the patch I sent you over a year ago
which would allow mount to work with a symbolic link at /etc/mtab. You
said you would apply the patch but you haven't done it. As a result, I
was under the impression that _you_ were asleep.

Both you and LaMont should find some co-maintainers.

Because "Maintainer is asleep" isn't a real bug I am closing this
report.
