New upstream version (1.1.31) available

Hi,
Thanks for the bug report.
I've uploaded the new release on my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~paolorotolo/+archive/testing/+packages

Why do you drop the man page fixes patch completely? Lintian suggests that it is still needed:

I: yum-utils: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man1/package-cleanup.1.gz unecessary unnecessary
N:
N: Lintian found a spelling error in the manpage. Lintian has a list of
N: common misspellings that it looks for. It does not have a dictionary
N: like a spelling checker does.
N:
N: If the string containing the spelling error is translated with the help
N: of gettext (with the help of po4a, for example) or a similar tool,
N: please fix the error in the translations as well as the English text to
N: avoid making the translations fuzzy. With gettext, for example, this
N: means you should also fix the spelling mistake in the corresponding
N: msgids in the *.po files.
N:
N: Severity: minor, Certainty: possible
N:
N: Check: manpages, Type: binary
N:
I: yum-utils: hyphen-used-as-minus-sign usr/share/man/man1/package-cleanup.1.gz:59
N:
N: This manual page seems to contain a hyphen where a minus sign was
N: intended. By default, "-" chars are interpreted as hyphens (U+2010) by
N: groff, not as minus signs (U+002D). Since options to programs use minus
N: signs (U+002D), this means for example in UTF-8 locales that you cannot
N: cut and paste options, nor search for them easily. The Debian groff
N: package currently forces "-" to be interpreted as a minus sign due to
N: the number of manual pages with this problem, but this is a
N: Debian-specific modification and hopefully eventually can be removed.
N:
N: "-" must be escaped ("\-") to be interpreted as minus. If you really
N: intend a hyphen (normally you don't), write it as "\(hy" to emphasise
N: that fact. See groff(7) and especially groff_char(7) for details, and
N: also the thread starting with
N: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg01481.h
N: tml
N:
N: If you use some tool that converts your documentation to groff format,
N: this tag may indicate a bug in the tool. Some tools convert dashes of
N: any kind to hyphens. The safe way of converting dashes is to convert
N: them to "\-".
N:
N: Because this error can occur very often, Lintian shows only the first 10
N: occurrences for each man page and give the number of suppressed
N: occurrences. If you want to see all warnings, run Lintian with the
N: -d/--debug option.
N:
N: Refer to /usr/share/doc/groff-base/README.Debian and the groff_char(7)
N: manual page for details.
N:
N: Severity: wishlist, Certainty: possible

Unsubscribing sponsors for now, as per the previous comment there is nothing that's ready for upload right now.

Is there any progress on this? If not I'm going to work on the same now
