Once again, there's NOTHING technical to do for this bug (for your
side): you just need to coordinate the effort with alioth team. You
don't wanna do it? that's ok, don't expect us to do that then. Stop
spreading FUD over it.

*eager*? I waited TWO years for you to do anything about it, and you
fail at it. So if in TWO years (oh even more since you opened this
bug) you weren't able to do any single step forward, than it's your
problem, for sure not ours.

You want it fixed? Do something about it! else, this bug will remain
closed until YOU find someone that will commit to work on it.

you are in NO position to try and teach me how to handle bugs.

I will NOT reply any further if there won't be anything interesting to
resolve this bug in future emails.
