Please note that the script does only look at what's actually in the
repo -- it doesn't look at the needsign queue in plague, as that stuff
is not yet available to the users.

Anyway, irssi is now in the repo as the needsign repoi was pushed --
that shouldn't have happened, as all new stuff will go to the testing
repo from now and will be moved over on masse at a later point in time.
The next move will likely happen in parallel together with the RHEL 5.1
announcement.

No idea. Check the plague-interface and the reports from the push script
that get send to this list.
