Nevermind, I had more than enough other stuff on my plate anyway.

Indeed, and many thanks for your support!

Actually, I was able to do the Alioth approval myself, because you had
granted wferi-guest admin rights before.  However, there is a question
for you about the xml-security-c packaging in <87y445hr01.fsf at lant.ki.iif.hu>

Both some historical context and you opinion on the above action plan
would be much appreciated in that thread.
