Hello!
While someone else is the official maintainer of net-misc/aria2, I have done the last 5 version bumps or so on net-misc/aria. I have gotten a little behind with it lately: 1.12.1 is the latest in tree, upstream has 1.13.0, 1.14.0 and the very fresh 1.14.1. One reason for that is that I don't use aria2 myself that much if at all. Another is that the next version bump needs more care than just copy-and-commit: some dependencies have changed. I would like to pass package net-misc/aria2 on to one of you. With the help of the proxy maintainer team this could even be someone who is not yet a Gentoo developer. Besides the test suite, nothing needs patching in the latest ebuild of 1.12.1. There is three open bugs [1]. If you want to take over, please go ahead. Maybe leave a short reply in this thread. Thanks!

More or less the same on my end. Would you mind if I publicly ask for a new maintainer for aria2? If I do not hear from you within a week I take no answer as a "yes". Best, Sebastian
