And no five minutes to care about older duties or at least reply? Too bad.

Thanks for looking into this. Surprised David is so unreachable. My
pkgdb requests were granted and I can go and add the fix now.
Since David is so busy, it seems to be a better option to find a new
maintainer for Festival. I'd be happy if any of the many co-maintainers
would step up to this. If nobody does I could do it. A word of warning
though that desktop development is not my primary concern (anymore), so
someone who would look at the dependent packages would be a good idea.
My repoquery fu suggests that no other package other than Fawkes (in the
future once the mentioned bug is fixed) relies on Festival as a library,
but rather other packages (like gnome-speech, kdeaccesibility, asterisk)
invoke the command line tool. It might be worth considering upgrading to
the latest stable release. But someone who maintained the package before
should have a look at the 19 (!) patches if they have been upstreamed,
don't need be, or should be.
Anyone interested? I'd join the effort.
