Just one message for all packages he was taking over would have been enough, not one for each package ? Friendly, Sven LUTHER

An announcement of change of maintainership is appropriate for this list. -- John Lapeyre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tucson,AZ http://www.physics.arizona.edu/~lapeyre

The old maintain put out a "looking for new maintainer" request on this list. Therefore, it is appropriate that the agreed upon new maintainer would announce that here to. This is to prevent others from possibly investigating the source with an eye towards taking over maintenance. Of course, you can change maintainership without involving this list. For instance, it's pretty common, I think, for old maintainers looking to drop packages to solicit actuve bug reporters , asking them if they wanna take over the pkg. Anyhow, I'll take a look at adding a section about this to the developers-reference. -- .Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://www.onShore.com/>

Thanks for your advice :-) I had read "Developpers' Reference". But I can't find description of this case, so I send "Maintainer Change announce mail" ,just in case. OK, I understand this process for these case.
