Comment 44 for bug 218202

Vish, the code needs some love. You seem to operate under the mistaken assumption that a papercut has to affect everyone. That is not the case. Having numlock work correctly is quite important, I don't think anyone would want to argue with that. The number of people affected is sizable, look beyond just the three tickets mentioned and you will find many. Plus, the number of adversely affected users is only to grow with the progressing bitrot.

Martin-Eric, I generally gladly help out with maintaining orphaned packages. But I currently do maintain quite a few already. I'm a packager, not a coder, the latter is what this currently needs most urgently. You seem to have the knowledge. I hope you can either provide a patch directly (I'd do the packaging, but that should by then be trivial) or find some coder to mentor about this.
