Package: adns
Version: 1.5.0~rc1-1.2
Hi, Gianfranco and Magnus. Thanks to both of you for taking care of
my package. (CCing one of the bugs Gianfranco fixed, to have some
kind of public record of this conversation.)

Gianfranco, I'm not able to see this upload yet but I guess it
includes the changes made by Magnus Holmgren in 1.5.0~rc1-1.2 ?
I was having a conversation with Magnus where we were discussing him
maybe adopting the package, or becoming a co-maintainer, with my
support.
Gianfranco, were you aware of that ? Are you also interested in
becoming a maintainer of adns ? I don't want to play the role of
blocker but it surprised me that you would do such a lot of work,
including changing the source packaging format, without trying to
coordinate. Your work seems close to the kind of work a maintainer
would do.
I don't want to quote my email exchange with Magnus here in this
public bug, without his permission, but it was a good conversation.
In particular, I asked Magnus to use dgit push[-source] for his NMU.
I consider publishing the source properly via dgit important. I am
still happy with the idea of the package gaining new maintainers, or
being adopted, but of course I want to avoid friction.
Gianfranco, is your work in git somewhere ? I'm not sure I agree with
the decision to change the source package format but since I have been
doing little work on this package, I don't feel I ought to try to veto
it. I would like to hear what Magnus thinks.
Ian.
