orphaned status of mod_wsgi in extra
I'm not sure if it's considered appropriate to question this here, but I wonder what can/will be done with this package. It seems to have been orphaned half a year ago and while there has been only one newer release since, that release fixes a few annoying bugs in the current Arch version. As you're probably aware of, mod_wsgi is the best/recommended way of running pretty much any python web-framework. That makes it an important package, I believe, and many Arch users would appreciate it being actively maintained...

Re: orphaned status of mod_wsgi in extra
You may get a response here, but I'd suggest you ask on the arch-general mailing list also. The out-of-date flag means that the devs are aware of the package's status, but as it does not have a maintainer, other tasks are likely to take priority.
For your own use, I'm sure you are aware that you can build your own updated package using ABS.

I updated it while rebuilding it for the python rebuild. So the updated package will be in the repo whenever the python rebuild will be completed.

Yes, I did.

Great, thanks. Does this also mean that you or other dev(s) intend to maintain this package?

I'm not interested in maintaining it. I don't know about the other devs.
