Chris, We don't really have a policy about how to handle this issue.
We generally ask that if people are going to stop maintaining things, they go through and mark their packages as "Maintainer: None". This has happened a few times, and it was greatly appreciated. But there are a number of other cases where the maintainer has simply vanished. I think that if we have someone who is willing to take a package over and seems capable of it, and the original maintainer is non-responsive, I say we should go ahead and switch the maintainer. It's certainly nice to acknowledge the original contribution by including a line in the DescPackaging like "Earlier versions by Masanori Sekino." -- Dave ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
