+As I have said list is just a preview.
+
+I was trying (successfully) to update a library major version (only 
+locally) and try to rebuild all packages that require it. So after 
+preparing a simple script I've found packages that require it but are 
+laying for months only in svn and untouched.
+
+When I ask people about "their" packages, some like avr-binutils are 
+wrong and to be deleted.
+
+But right, it's not time to look after these packages, when we can't 
+maintain the already "pushed" ones.
+
+I can unveil the script if it's useful for someone. I use some basic 
+bash tools..
+
+But I think it could be done automatically somewhere online - to prepare 
+a monitor page, for developers as a reminder what is in our svn waiting 
+for its time? And the list can contain only those packages that wait 
+uncommitted for more then 1 month?
+
+I am attaching the list with description who and when has it committed 
+the last time http://kamil.mageia.org.pl/list_info.txt
