That is worrysome.  People who are hurt, are incapacitated or who pass
away, just drop offline without a word.  I've seen this before.  I've
gotten crosswise of Jakub on the bugs database and he runs it as a
pretty tight ship, but it's obvious that he does a _great_ deal of
absolutely necessary work and by and large does a fine job.

Surely someone with the Gentoo Project has physical stats on his
whereabouts such as a phone number and/or snail-mail address.
