Re: [Fink-devel] Process to take over a package?
OK. I committed an updated image-exiftool-pm, with myself as the maintainer. I'll examine the other of Benjamin’s packages that I am interested in to see which ones are within my skill set to maintain.

Alexander, Shouldn't we change Benjamin's packages to None for the Maintainer field so that it is clear they are all up for adoption?

[Fink-devel] Process to take over a package?
Is there a defined way to take over a package? I note that image-exiftool-pm (owned by Benjamin Reed) is way out of date. I contacted Benjamin to offer an updated info file, or to take over as maintainer, and he said that he was happy for me to take over any or all of his packages.
