Sure it does, nice.

In your package list table I saw the mapping package listed as unmaintained.
Formally that is true, but currently I'm working on it and I want to make a
release "soon". ("Soon" in the mean time to be understood as ~ 6 months ago
:-)   but OK I didn't count in all kinds of personal and professional
distractions. Seems I'm often too optimistic)
I'm thinking of signing up as mapping package maintainer once that release
is out.
