Hi, folks.
A while back, I realized that I was the main admin for the elasticsearch
package. Given that I'm not using elasticsearch these days (I signed up for
co-maintainership because I maintain the perl bindings for ES) and with the
upcoming retiring of most of the Java stack in Fedora, I just

I'm going to repeat this until it sinks in...

This inspires two observations (which I'm sure you already know).

There are co-maintainers and they all

The issue here is that, if we have someone who can maintain ant,

a module. If the package is then orphaned/retired, it ceases

Hello, all.
I maintain perl-perlmenu in Fedora and I will be retiring it at the end
of the week unless someone offers to maintain it instead. For the record,
