Hi,

and sorry for my late response. My hacking time is currently very limited
due to family reasons.

Tim, I have added you (as username tjrc1) to the pkg-request-tracker
project on Alioth.  Welcome. Glad to see more people interested in
maintaining RT.

Unfortunately, while I'm still quite interested myself too, I have
realized (or rather admitted to myself) that I don't have enough time
currently for new commitments.  So I'm pulling out while I still can,
for the time being. I'm still hoping that group maintenance works out,
but I can't take an active role in it at this time.

I'm CCing <pkg-request-tracker-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>,
the mailing list that would IMO be a natural choice for the maintainer
address and the internal communication of the group. Tim, you'll have
to subscribe separately with the Alioth web interface if you want to
join.

There's still the 3.4.5-1 version I prepared in June at svn.debian.org
[1]; I hope somebody will pick it up in time for etch. I'd rather not be
listed as an Uploader, though. All the changes to the upstream source
are under the debian/ directory, so it should probably be managed with
the mergeWithUpstream property rather than a whole tree.

[1] http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-request-tracker/packages/request-tracker3.4/trunk

I haven't done anything for packaging 3.6. 

The ITA bug (#366551) is still owned by me; I'd appreciate if somebody
would take it over. I'll retitle it back to O: after a week if nothing
has happened.

Hope the project still gets going, and sorry for estimating my time wrong.
I hope I can help out later.

Cheers and best wishes,
