Greetings, This message caught my attention yesterday: > - would anyone be interested in adopting this code in Debian?
I would be willing to give this a try. Keep in mind that I've not been a Debian maintainer previously and my expectations are based loosely on the support tickets that were mentioned. Myself, I live near Boston, am going to school part-time, and have only used or worked with Unix and GNU Linux since 1995. I don't usually say GNU Linux, either. The New Maintainer's Guide looks relevant, but let me know if there are other sources I should read. Let me know your thoughts on this matter. Sincerely, J.

Subject: Wanted: maintainer for git's emacs support Hi, None of the current Debian git maintainers seem to use emacs. This means git's emacs support[1] does not get as much care as it deserves: see for example bugs #611936, #611931, #611932, #611933, #611934, #577834, and #611935. The upstream maintainer is very friendly and responsive though he doesn't seem to have much time for it these days. Users are friendly and responsive, too. So I wonder: - would anyone be interested in adopting this code in Debian? - if not, should we be shipping it? Thoughts welcome. (Actions even more so. :)) Jonathan [1] /usr/share/doc/git/README.emacs ----- End forwarded message ----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-emacsen-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
