Hello, sorry, I was under the wrong impression that closure-compiler would be abandoned upstream and that it would eventually die of age and be removed. I packaged closure-compiler as a dependency of the code review system Gerrit which however couldn't be packaged at the time due to GWT.
Whoever does another upload to closure-compiler please also remove me from uploaders.
