Hi Bruce.  Since Celeste is one of the split-off packages now, you 
should probably also email the maintainer/author directly when reporting 
bugs.  Hm, I guess that would be Daniel and/or Adam Spitz?  (Shouldn't 
Lex be on this list too? :-)  I guess with SM2 we'll have the ability to 
register multiple maintainers, which'll be nice.)

The bottom line is that at this point, there should be some person or 
persons "in charge" of Celeste.  Of course, it's also good to cc the 
list with any bug reports.
