Sorry if you've offered to fix stuff and then not been able to. My
understanding (perhaps incorrect) of previous contributions was that
they were really useful suggestions re. e.g. mailman but not offers to
go in and fix stuff. Apologies for misconstruing this and we'd be
delighted to have assistance if you had the spare cycles.
