Hi Vincent, Yes, it would need someone to step in as a maintainer. You don't need to be a DD for that, you would just need to find a sponsor when you need to upload a new version. If you want to do that, please send the following to cont...@bugs.debian.org, Ccing 373...@bugs.debian.org: reassign 373928 wnpp retitle 373928 ITA: cvsreport -- extract activity reports from a CVS repository owner 373928 ! thanks it will indicate that you Intent To Adopt cvsreport. However, since not so many people use CVS those days, and nobody has shown interest in maintaining it over the last 3 years, maybe it would be better to let it go? -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
