          Priority: medium
            Bug ID: 73906
          Assignee: portland-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
           Summary: How best to give xdg-utils some love?
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: All
          Reporter: rrt at sc3d.org
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
           Version: unspecified
         Component: xdg-utils
           Product: Portland

xdg-utils has a lot of open bugs, many of which seem outdated, and a lot of
which have patches. The last release was some years ago, and distributions are
mostly using 1.1.0rc1 (i.e. a pre-release version).

Personally, I'm the maintainer of Caffeine https://launchpad.net/caffeine , a
utility that gives the user manual control of the screensaver. I would like to
outsource the complicated logic of controlling the screensaver to
xdg-screensaver, but it badly needs updating to cope with newer screensaver
systems. How can I help this actually get into a release?

Similarly, it looks as though it would be profitable to go through the
currently-open bugs, close out-of-date test reports, and actually use (or
refuse) the various patches on offer. I'd be happy to help with this.
