Sjoerd is apparently the new maintainer, and the old maintainer's happy
with this:

<Kamion> jdub: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2005/05/msg00118.html # ?
<jdub> Kamion: sjoerd (new maintainer) knows about our patches - his call
<Kamion> jdub: oh, I thought you were still maintainer
<seb128> Kamion, jdub: the version waiting in Debian/NEW has the hoary
         patch but we according to the discussion on #gnome-debian we
         don't need gamin for sarge
<Kamion> so does the BTS, for that matter :)
<seb128> nothing uses it atm and that's not tested on Debian
<Kamion> ok, thanks
<seb128> np
<jdub> seb128: why hasn't sjoerd changed the maintainer yet? :)
<seb128> I think he has, but as said the package is NEW
<seb128> due to the python bindings I think

I've scheduled gamin for removal.

Cheers,
