I have plenty of packages, so I see no reason to stand in the way of a new maintainer, provided you fix its bugs and maintain it well. :) Sounds like you use it more than me anyway. Send me a diff and I'll have a look; my current version has fixes for #50885, #147808, #168492, and #190485. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
