Hi debian-devel, I intent to hijack the package xbattbar-acpi[1].
The maintainer of xbattbar-acpi, Davide Truffa[2] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, is not active anymore. There isn't any activity of Davide on the Internet, inside and outside Debian, since November 2007. I have tried to get information about him but also some his friends in real life are unable to contact him. I have sent an email to him about my intention on 2008-03-06 and I have sent a reminder on 2008-03-21 without get any reply. I have also contacted sponsor for xbattbar-acpi, Nico Golde, which is unable to contact Davide, too. He is in agreement with this intent to highjack. Anyway, I'm going to write to the Debian QA team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for give the information I have gathered. Moreover, xbattbar-acpi has a new upstream release[3] completely rewritten with libxcb, instead of libx11, that fixes bug #479247[4] and adds features. If there isn't objections I hijack it.
