As far as Debian support goes, I ran out of time and inclination with
a
new family and no use for it in any more.

Ah, life. Enjoy your family.

I wonder if it would be any easier to contribute on GitHub (or
Bitbucket). I do have the time and experience to do that, at least as
an
example.

Bitbucket, at least, makes it easy to submit a "pull request".
Does sourceforge really not do that?  I figure that I must be
missing something.

But somebody with the knowledge of the software would still have
to take responsibility for accepting the patches.  This is the
more serious lack.

Meanwhile,
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tn5250/files/tn5250/Debian%200.16.5-5w
oody1/
shows 212 downloads/week.  This seems to me to be a quite
respectable number.  Are all of these running in a 32-bit
environment?

Terry.
