Hello,
   I'd like to adopt this package. I'm going to have a deeper look at
the source this weekend, and try and fix the bugs in the bts before
making a first upload.

retitle 206137 O: bibview -- X11 Bibliography database tool
quit

After finding pybliographer, as well as not finding anyone on -mentors
willing to sponsor even minor updates for this package, I'm going to
rescind my ITA.
