Hi Zbyszek,

First of all -- thanks for the details and probably this should be our
last email on the neurodebian-users mailing list -- let's switch to more
appropriate neurodebian-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org (CCing for
convenience this time, and you are welcome to subscribe or I will
just try to keep CCing you)

Sure! as long as you promise to take care of them ;-)  

It might take a bit longer for us to review/sponsor them, but otherwise
I do not see the number as a show stopper. With such a number
eventually you might even apply for Debian maintainer position so
you could do everything yourself without sponsoring your uploads through
us.

sounds great

FWIW -- there were already someone interested in having it in Debian, so
whenever you start packaging it I would advice to retitle (bts retitle
command in cmdline) those bug reports to carry ITP (intent to package)
instead of RFP (request for packaging) and put you as the owner:

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602830
    RFP: bluecove -- Java library for Bluetooth (JSR-82 implementation)

    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=602834
    RFP: bluecove-gpl -- BlueCove-gpl is additional module for BlueCove to support bluecove on Linux.

also it might be worth for you to seek help or simply to join
http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/
Pkg-java team.  Describe them what packages you are going to
package/maintain, our (NeuroDebian) interest in them, etc.  This way you
might get even more helpful hands (we ourselves are not very familiar
with Java packaging aspects) and perspective sponsors for uploads (hence
faster feedback for you)

somewhat relevant question -- why not a clone on github?  might have
helped a bit to attract contributors from outside etc

So let's work toward that ;)

ok -- will glance over it -- thanks!  Keep in touch
