I am alive and well, as is my ircii-epic package which, pending authentication, you can get from me if you want it. It was definitely not ready for 1.3, however, as they are not accepting even bug fixes at this point (except for *critical* bugs). Maybe we'll see it in 1.3.xx. I have not, to my knowledge been 'screened out', but am awaiting further word from Klee, who surely has many things to do:-) I would like to add my support to the statement that games are good initial packages. Being most definitely non-critical to the general well being of a Debian system, they allow you to maybe make a mistake or two without raising someone's ire at having to fix a broken package by hand. While it would be nice if new developers took over some orphaned packages (I plan to), unloading a package on someone that they have no interest in, is, IMHO, a bad thing. If they are personally interested in it, they are more likely to understand it well, keep it up to date, and release timely bug fixes.
