Peter is the maintainer. The mixminion package was removed from etch before
etch was released because it was considered to be too unstable. Since then
Peter has released a mixminion package for etch at

True, we announced the new version as soon as it was available because it
fixes one of the most common bugs that make servers stop.

It's been over a week since it was announced, I don't think that is too
short a time to send a reminder to the list and to the remops of dead nodes.

So far I've had two email bounces for messages sent directly to mixminion
remops. This is not a good sign.
