It's obvious. Everybody needs it.

They are tracked. But their life ends in svn->new and my zlocal. I updated to 
current version modules I use. If even these modules are not imported to 
moonbase I see no sense of updating other. Popular modules like linux have 
chance to be in moonbase. I maintain modules which I use. Kernel is one of 
such modules. I do module updates for myself and drop them to lunar svn also. 
I can keep them for myself only if you wish.

??? Thats strange. Your mail have rather opposite meaning.

OK. I was not sure if you see svn->new commits. But if commit changelog is 
tracked - no more update posts.

...and the answer usually is "have no time". Most modules have no personal 
maintainer field so such contact is not possible.
