Are you on pkg-a11y-devel at alioth-lists.debian.net?
(that's the one that gets the bts mails)

Not that I am aware of. It's indeed the QuickJS question that prevented
me from updating, because "yet another package to add".

Ah yes it's from Fabrice Bellard, that should be quite portable indeed.

That's the æternal question. If the package is stable enough, I can
add it to my list, but that'd be yet one more. I'd be happy to sponsor
accessibility-related uploads however.
