I've just granted you "developer" access to our games-team repositories. You
should be able to clone them, make your changes and push them again now. Thanks
for the pull request which I have just merged. Feel free to update 7kaa and if
you think it's done, just contact me via this mailing list again and I review
your changes and try to get them into Debian.

Regards,

Markus
