Re: Is Ayman Negm MIA?
Hi all, I'm going to orphan Ayman's packages. If and when he'll come back he can upload the package closing the O bugs, and/or ask comaintainershp for the packages that someone else would have taken.

Is Ayman Negm MIA?
Ayman Negm is the maintainer of, among others, the gddrescue package. The package hasn't been touched by him since 2006, and several bugs about it have required NMUs by other people. Several people have volunteered to take it over if he's AWOL, and I'll throw my name in the pile as well...but again, only if he's gone. :) - Rich -- The difference between this place and yogurt is that yogurt has a live culture. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
