[maemo-community] stuck packages fixed?

[From: Iván Gálvez Junquera]

The other issue is about those packages that have fulfilled the criteria
but, probably due to the long time waiting in the queue, now they are
pending to be pushed by the maintainers

I'm yet pending to prepare a list of "to be promoted packages". My
intention is to gather all the information about status, maintainers and
TMO related threads, and try to contact the developers to promote their
packages. After that, all non promoted packages could be pushed by the a
temporary new maintainer designed by the Council if they don't present any
problem.

But I have had a very busy week, hopefully I could do something more next
week.

Regards.
