Please refer to the title of this thread, where I wrote: Orphaning *THEN* take over Is there anything wrong with that? Please re-read my first post of this thread. Did you see me writing "I'd like to hijack php-codesniffer in order to rush and get it into wheezy in time before the freeze"? *NO* ! I didn't write that. That's not my intention, especially that this is a tool aimed at developers, so it doesn't really mater if it's not in Wheezy (it'd be nicer, but it's ok if it's not). In fact, it's the total opposite way, I asked others if they found it ok to ask for the package to be orphaned after only a week, because I thought that 4 years without a refresh of the package, multiple NMUs of other packages from the same maintainer, was enough to shorten the "ping period". I also wrote about my intention to get the original maintainer in the team if he wishes so. Then considering Jonas opinion, I agreed to leave one week more, even if I know that the orphaning process may take some time as well. Is this hijack? Is this rushing?
