To submit your changes, I suggest that you first send your patches to
the BTS by opening a bug with severity 'wishlist' about updating sympa
to 6.1.16. You can easily use 'git send-email' for that.

As Wheezy is frozen for a few months, it will not be possible to have a
new version of sympa in Wheezy. Wheezy will be released with Sympa 6.1.11.

The only changes we can made for Sympa in Wheezy is fixing RC bugs and
there is one I'm currently working on: #686845

We could also upgrade sympa version in sid but my plan is to upload a
new version in sid with this bug fixed in order to have the fix tested
by many people.

I hope I have reply to all your questions, if your need more
informations, don't hesitate to ask.


Regards,


M.
