Afaics nothing happened since then. Or did I miss anything? How can we

Stanislaw, is there anything Exuvo (who offered to help afaics) could

Ciao, Thorsten

P.S.: I have no personal interest in this issue and watch it using
regzbot. Hence, feel free to exclude me on further messages in this
thread after the first reply, as I'm only posting this mail to hopefully
get a status update and things rolling again.
