Ok.

Would you need me to sponsor your uploads? The reason I ask is, I'm trying to give up maintaining XMLTV due to time constraints. Sponsoring someone else's packages would potentially take almost as much time as just maintaining them myself. It would be great if we could find another DD who had the time to work more closely with you than I can afford to. I could then stay on as co-maintainer just to help out a bit when needed. > > Anyone who wants to take these packages over should probably be willing > > to follow the upstream mailing lists > > That's no problem. Cool. I recommend following both xmltv-devel and xmltv-users, and traffic is low enough lately to be manageable. > > The new maintainer should also consider maintaining a backport to sarge > > like I have been doing > > I don't see any problem in maintaing such a backport. Where do you think you would host the backported packages? As I said, I'd prefer to avoid hosting them myself if possible (currently, they're served off my own site, cedar-solutions.com).
