I no longer maintain sysvinit--Bruce Perens does now. You'll want to talk with him. (A few sysvinit-related discussions started last week; it would be good for you to participate in them. Are you on the debian-devel mailing list? If not, ask [EMAIL PROTECTED] to add you.)
Could someone mail the latest copy of the Guidelines to Miquel? (As an aside, are they available anywhere on ftp.debian.org? I don't think they are yet; or, at least, I haven't moved anything into the archive.) In short: We'd love to have you involved in the Debian Project. I know we were looking for a maintainer for inn a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if we found one. Ian? Thanks, Ian Murdock.
