If the maintainer doesn't pick it up, either mention on debian-devel<br>that you have a patch that requires sponsorship, or prepare an entire
<br>NMU and ask a DD you know or on debian-mentors for a sponsor to upload it.</blockquote><div><br>I'll try to do the later.<br><br>Thanks for everyone who answered my query.<br><br></div></div>--Amos<br><br>
