We could also take the latest rockspec upload into account, and there should be some form of email reminder too (first to the maintainer(s) directly, and later if necessary as a summary to one of the mailing lists). I would miss the friendly help on this mailing list, though, if there was something wrong with my rockspecs ... >> >> For the dependency issue I hope that we can find something faster ... >> > > I doubt it.

I agree (and apparently three weeks is not sufficient time, as I just received an answer from the original markdown.lua developer), but for the dependency issue, you would just have to replace ">= 5.1" with ">= 5.1, < 5.3" in those rockspecs that break for Lua 5.2. No code stealing necessary.
