I disagree with this assessment. Is usually the responsibility of any new maintainer to contact the old maintainer for any package they want to salvage/hijack. In this case I made the initial contact as a way to show that work was actually being done in the package and asked him to join the Team since help is always appreciated. Since the other party knew the package was being worked on. It's rude to upload anything. > > My understanding was that Robbie attempted to go through the procedure > to join the team but that there was some miscommunication so no progress > happened. > He did ask, http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-multimedia-maintainers/2015-March/043292.html Hopefully someone with admin right in the group can help to add him if he is still interested and there are no objections. I'm CC Reinhard to see if he can help.
