The devfsd package could also use an NMU or two. It has apparently been

fairly trivial, and he's only responded to one of the 11 open bugs (and
that response was three months ago).
I'm not trying to 'dis' Tom; he may very well have good reasons for his
current withdrawal from debian. Its just that SOMETHING needs to be
done with his packages.
Currently I have enough work to do. In about a month's time I will be
prepared to take over the devfsd package as it's an area that I am interested
in (and it shouldn't be too difficult to maintain - I don't anticipate the
need to make any major changes).
If someone else wants to do it then I'd be happy to send them patches and to
test out new versions before they release them.
In this case I am not interested in doing NMU's. I'll either take it over in
Feb (if Tom is willing to give it to me and no better qualified person
volunteers) or send patches and do testing for whoever is maintaining it at
that time.
