But obviously, it's up to you guys.
Dario Alcocer was the last person to announce rpm so, AFAICT, he was the rpm maintainer. I don't see any announcements from Nicholas in cygwin-announce about rpm. And, as far as that's concerned, I don't see any popt announcements at all from Nicholas in cygwin-announce. So, anyway, I think I will take on the popt package. It makes sense for the rpm maintainer to be the popt maintainer and I'm hoping to update rpm sometime soon. cgf
