Could you please confirm that you subscribed the package to get the
mails automatically?  Alternatively you can (should) subscribe the
maintainer mailing list

   https://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-med-packaging

which also will bring issues of orthanc directly to your attention.

I admit that new queue was quite delayed but in the last days ftpmaster
did a great job - hope this will continue.

If we announce to ftpmaster kindly that a package will fix an RC bug
this definitely gets priority (I'd volunteer to write the according mail
- just ping me).  I hope that even in general the new processing will be
faster than it used to be until recently.

Kind regards
