Hi, net-im/skype needs a maintainer. It's currently maintained by the net-im team which is not very active. If you look at the ChangeLog you will see that for the past few years random developers are trying to keep it up to date ( and thanks for that! ). However it would be nice to find a maintainer who will fix the pending bugs and bump it to the latest release. In the meantime, I will re-assign it to maintainer-needed@ so proxy-maintainers can step-up and help if someone from the user community is willing to maintain it.
