I think I misread some emails, and so Andriy only contacted (publicly) on August and not since April as I first understood. So clearly it's not "several months" but "more than one month" only. >> and none of these generated any reply, I think you can go on and take >> over the package. > > I don't agree.

Now, let's wait for a reply.
