Who else would I be writing to? You started the thread:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2017/04/msg00091.html
Presumably, you were the "I" with the Prosavage8 S3 Graphics problem about which 
you wrote.

While that CPU may well be considered non-ancient, Debian dropped the ball when 
it integrated upstream's KMS without commensurate resources necessary to adapt 
and maintain drivers for all gfxchips other than those from AMD/ATI, Intel and 
NVidia. Support for the ~18 year old Prosavage8 S3 Graphics gfxchip that is the 
reason for this thread's inception has obviously become inadequate, as it has 
for a non-trivial number of other gfxchips designed 15-20 years ago.
