Is Backbone still active?

[Graham Lee]

Hi list,

I recently discovered that backbone's build had bit-rotted as 
gnustep-make has changed, and put up a patch: 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?9162

Nothing's happened to it in a couple of weeks. Are the backbone 
maintainers still around? Is there a different route preferred for 
submitting patches?

Thanks,
Graham.
