[chirp_users] New member with a couple questions

[David Ranch]

Getting the Debian folks (and thus other downstream distros like Ubuntu, 
Mint, etc) to take a new version of Chip is pretty strait forward.  All 
that needs to be done is a new OFFICIAL version needs to be published 
and the maintainer be notified.   If Dan and team can do the release, I 
can work with the package maintainers for Debian, Fedora, etc.
