He already did, and we (I) already contacted him; the maintainer in question promptly replied (after he ignored the bug reports Peter submitted) saying he would quickly take care of the package in question in a matter of days, though nothing happened. That said we already suggested Peter to just go ahead and NMU the package, I am not sure why he haven't do it already… Also, a personal pledge to everybody who's reading this: please don't attach yourself to your packages like mussels on a rock. If you realize (or somebody else is making you realize) that you're doing a bad job on a package *and* there is a willing adopter, just give it up; or talk to the prospective adopter about some kind of collaboration, or something on that line. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
