Yes, this is intended as an RFP: I'm looking for a volunteer maintainer for scx and I'm happy to help with upstream knowledge and review. If no volunteer maintainer emerges, I can consider maintaining the package myself or converting this into an ITP, but I wanted to check for interest first. > > > If you are interested in maintaining this package, or have questions about > > the upstream project or packaging status, please feel free to reach out. > > I might be interested, but I will need to take a closer look before > committing. That's great, thanks for the interest. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. -Andrea
