I have not applied for DD yet and was not planning to do so in the near future. I had a need for this package so started packaging and maintaining it (and enjoyed doing so), when I announced this to the VPython community they where positive and I discovered more people had a need for this Debian package, they even repeatedly they asked if this could get into Debian. I was thinking of only applying for DD when I had proven to myself I could handle maintaining it in Debian and/or if my sponsor asked/suggested so. Hence getting the package in Debian is more important to me then maintaining it myself and I would be open to Jonas adopting it. If a sponsor appeared that would even be better though, but Jonas has been the only person showing interest so far. > > (later, in the small groups setup that could be different.) > > I don't know the "small groups setup" you mention - could you please > point me to more on that?
