	I'm ok, not talking about just sorting the packing list.

	He might be very familiar with this port, I really don't
	know, but I've even seen discussions about security updates
	where maintainer rejected submitted patches. That's their
	right.

	The only fact that a PR about rdesktop was in feedback state
	should prevent him from just committing an update.

	My 2 (new committer's and maintainer's) cents.
