A lot of Debian maintainers hang on to their packages like a hen over her eggs and do not want to give away any authority over their packages which they would to by accepting co-maintainers.
And I guess it is not by chance that packages which fit into this category often accumulate more and more very old, simply to fix and boring bugs. I hope this can be solved since I heard several positive voices to make group maintainance more popular.
Having the Ubuntu maintainer as co-maintainer would be a drastical advance for both Debian and Ubuntu. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
