Sorry about that, I've been busy with other things, not bug trackers :-( 
Likewise, the meeting in France didn't actually happen because of lack 
of time.

It doesn't look like I'll have much opportunity to work on bug trackers 
again before the summer.

Meanwhile, I was relieved to see that bts-link seems to have a new and 
active maintainer these days. Are you involved with it as well?

Cheers,

Jelmer
