Sorry for the delayed response, I've been moving and am now settling in. I would agree and think that it would be a good idea for ktorrent to be under the maintainance of the KDE Extras team now that it has matured and it's acceptance and use has grown. I would likewise be interested in being a member of said team to continue ktorrent maintainance as possible, but have others able to fill in when I'm unable or unavailable. I plan on filing a 2.1.45 package by the end of this week, and I'll transfer maintainance at that time as well. What all is required to designate the KDE Extras team as maintainer? My current thought is that it would likely be best to join the KDE Extras team before the upload and perform the new upload as the first upload under the team umbrella, does this sound reasonable? Thanks, Joel
