Hi, I was the original sponsor for gmail-notify. I've been aware of the absent maintainer for sometime now, although I know no more than you do about the reasons. I prepared an NMU almost exactly 10 days ago that addresses most of the outstanding bugs for this package, and emailed the maintainer again (he did use a gmail address for a while too).
If my delayed upload goes through (which it looks like it will tonight) my intention was to talk to QA about MIA, since I can't quite work out where sponsored uploads fit into MIA, and currently mia-query returns 'X-MIA: Not in database'. One of my tests for sponsorship is 'would I be willing to be maintainer if the sponsoree disapeared?', so I'm willing to take this package over. I don't want to end up hijacking it without any kind of due process though. Alan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
