Laca,

MetaTracker and it's dependcies are moved from SFE to vermillion dock
yesterday. Their maintainers are:

   * libgsf     Halton    ???(SUNWgnome-desktop-search-libs)
   ???* gmime      Jerry Tan ???(SUNWgmime)
   * libgc      Jijun Yu  ???(SUNWlibgc)
   * w3m        Halton    ???(SUNWgnome-desktop-search-libs)
   * tracker    Jerry Tan ???(SUNWgnome-desktop-search)

I will also take maintainer as filezilla.
I will not take maintainer for aspell, gvim for I have little knowleadge
on them.

BTW, if somebody interested in take libgsf, w3m and filezilla, I have no
problem to give them out. 

Cheers,
Halton.
