Hi, I'm interested in a package (gnu-smalltalk, specifically) whose maintainer appears to be inactive (on this package, at least)...
I would be willing to maintain the package if possible, but I'm not currently a Debian maintainer... Can I package something and see if the current maintainer will upload it? I haven't contacted the current maintainer -- I assume he's aware of the situation, since there's a few "serious" bugs which are hundreds of days old. Should I or someone contact him? Anyhow, I just thought I'd find out what I can do. If it's possible for me to package it, I might need some help from a "mentor"... some of the changes made to the package are a little beyond me. Hopefully this is appropriate of me to ask here... Thanks in advance. -- Brett
