Indeed, I have not been active on this recently, for lack of time (an also because it still "just works" for me). There have been some bugfixes committed since the 1.1 release, and there are also some proposed patches, which should get integrated to make a new release. > Should instead the snapshot be used? Definitely, and various distributions do that already, AFAIK. Actually what should be done is really making a proper new release, which, apart from integrating patches, would involve some packaging work. > > As I have no time to maintain my packages properly if there are > > volunteers to take over I'd be happy to give ownership over the > > package. I too would be happy to hand over maintenance to someone actually willing to do it, and in fact that is why the code and home page have been migrated to launchpad.

Certainly it would be most efficient if it was done by someone fluent in Python, but the real problem is to find someone willing to actually do the work until a new release is produced.
