It's not simply my own burden (which is not always reflected by commit log 
entries, and where even the "trivial" changes are more work for me). It's all 
the people who have to review this code for all the distributions. Even making 
something setgid is a big deal. Obviously the Debian and Fedora people don't 
want to bother.

If people were really using this program to support multiuser games, it'd be 
worth the trouble. But I don't have the sense that the feature is actually used.

That being said, the simplest thing is to do nothing.
