Ok. Developers, please read this mail and see attached patch as is fixes some
bugs in your code.

No, it's just that (admin-wise) peep is not really that much useful. It's
fancy, but not that useful.

I'm not aware of any.

Understood. Attached is a patch which can be used to build a Debian package
out of Peep and fixes a number of bugs in the latest release. If you don't 
know how to use it I could upload packages to people.debian.org/~jfs

I just don't want to maintain more packages, so it would be best if you
found a suitable maintainer for these. I can make the initial upload,
however.
