Is SZALAY Attila <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MIA? His last upload was over three months ago (Feb 10th, 2005) and does not respond to his emails. I've tried contacting him via his debian email address with no success (first message sent April 13th, CC'd co-maintainer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> who responded; sent a reminder message May 11th, and now it has been over a week since I sent that, with no response).
Looking at the BTS, it doesn't seem as if he is responding to bug reports, there are many old bugs that have patches which fix the bugs and there were a number of wishlist bugs for upgrading to various versions as new versions came and went. Although there is nothing wrong with only maintaining 3 packages, none of them are maintained by himself (all are co-maintained) and zorp has a FTBFS that has a patch to fix and I'm wondering if it ever will be I've been cleaning up the BTS for syslog-ng there were multiple bugs for an upgrade to a new version, I've merged all those together. One I closed because the bug was requesting the version that was uploaded in January. I did an NMU to fix a security bug which resolved 3 different long-standing bugs reporting the same issue, the oldest being 168 days old. I would like to take the syslog-ng package and give it the attention that it deserves, but I did not wish to be rude. I have tried to contact the maintainer to offer my help for over a month with a reminder ping email, so I am now sending this message here as the MIA procedure suggests. At what point would it be appropriate to begin to actively maintain syslog-ng? Thanks, Micah
