So the mess propagates:

stop

There is currently no package named psignifit3 in NEW.  So I'm removing the tag
"pending" that was added by Aníbal because psignifit3 would be in NEW at that
time.

Note that a package named psignifit at mentors closes 580499, so maybe Nikolaus
Valentin Hänel has the intention to adopt psignifit, however the package
psignifit is currently not up for adoption.  So I'm not (yet) doing a retitle
of this RFP-psignifit3 to ITA-psignifit.

I guess then maybe it should be psignifit3 after all? If there are no
furter complaints i'll fixup the sourec package, dput a new version, and
someone will have to repoen the ITP.
