Some questions, that might serve as a checklist for others dealing with possibly MIA developers: - did you try to contact the person? at least 2 or 3 times with (just a indicative measure) a couple of weeks between each message? - did you ping a bug on the BTS asking for its resolution? - did you file a bug on the BTS for activities that signal lack of maintainership (like new upstream release)? - did you try to contact his sponsor (if it's a non-DD)? - did you google for information about the person? In this case, Emanuele has a blog that was last updated at the end of July 2009. - did you read Developers Reference about what's the best procedures about perspective MIA developers (included the email address to contact)? In this particular case, I see that Emanuele is neglecting some Debian activities, but I see him active on Ubuntu: try to contact him (let it be public, it's better, for example opening/replying to a bug on the BTS) and see how it goes.
