Yes, sure, this is always the first option, but it does not work. Some people "fear" remove their co-maintainters to avoid problems, so maybe with a "request" of the MIA team this would be different. And well, if all the co-maintainers are MIA, nobody is going to remove nobody :) Ana -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
