Dawson was the original maintainer. The archival copy of your communication dubbing Remote Control a GNU package with Stephen H. Dawson as the maintainer is available[1]. He made a reply at that time. [1] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/private/savannah-hackers-private/2012-December/002496.html > Have you ever talked with him? No. Not that I recall.

The most recent development appears to have been around two years ago. I am not familiar with this project but see this by looking at the subversion project version control history[3].

The project "remotecontrol" is an official GNU project as listed in the maintainers file. Stephen H. Dawson is the official maintainer for "remotecontrol"[1]. That listing was posted by Stephen H. Dawson as a "News" entry in the project's news feed on Savannah[2]. Having posted the news entry it appears in the project's news feed. News postings by project maintainers are not moderated for posting to their own project's news feed.
