Anyway, I will ping him and hopefully he replies here on list/to you or rally some message through me. Z

Thats why the "if" in my reply. :) And besides, looking at https://github.com/troglobit/editline/issues/42#issuecomment-674494039 it seems its more than 7 days. -- Regards Sudip

Hi Joel! > I'll appreciate any ideas or pointers on how to proceed, otherwise I'll just > wait three more weeks and see what else I can do.

Hence I would wait at least until mid-September before taking further steps. regards, - ulrike

If the maintainer is truly unavailable and if you are interested to maintain the package then you can open an ITS bug report. Its in more details at https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#how-to-salvage-a-package. -- Regards Sudip
