The Ribenaberry? No, neither of those two.
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

I seem to remember an interview with John Wagner in which he was asked what he thought of the Stallone Dredd movie and responded with something along the lines of "well, we borrowed from Hollywood [perhaps referencing Dirty Harry and/or Death Race 2000] so we can hardly complain".

Does anyone recall this or where I would find the actual interview?

That sounds more like something he'd say about Robocop.

Makes sense.  Whatever they might think of the 1995 film itself, I think John, Pat and Carlos would have been happy with the credit (and royalties) that they received from the producers...

One Wagner anecdote I recall from '95 was him and Carlos eagerly watching the credits roll on and on at the premiere, eventually finding their names in small type towards the bottom... and just looking at each other in disappointment. (caveat - anecdote possibly embellished for dramatic effect, but essentially accurate)

Dredd 2012 put their names front and centre

Now that you mention Robocop - maybe it was that I was recalling.

Does anyone have a list of jumping on progs/megs, or know of one?

Ta!

Mind you, these are PURE jump-ons (100% all new stories or story threads), rather than advertised jump-ons (where it's mostly new except for one thing, or THREE new thrills inside).

Aha! I knew that one day I would be called upon! I have a spreadsheet ... hang on ...

Quick, someone send his number to Public Health England .... they need a spreadsheet expert!

My favorite part of that news story was that someone had told them right up front that a spreadsheet was a shit way to solve the problem and that they should use a database. Not only did Seneschal Cummings and Supreme Leader Boris ignore that advice, but somehow whichever medieval-hatted programmer they set on the task used the older, shitter version of Excel file (which had them lose even more information than they needed to, even with their already cheapo non-solution).

Welcome to Great Britain. Please bring your own supplies, as we won't be providing any.

Funt to the rescue once more! (I was going to make a "Funt shot first" gag as a play on "Han shot first", but couldn't make it work).

Once again, I am in awe of your spreadsheet and the meaty goodness contained therein. It's like Barney on steroids.

Thanks, Funt! 👌🏻
