I was the one who brought nfs-utils into the kernel team, expecting that it would benefit from coordination with kernel maintainers, but aside from my contributions in 2009-2011 that hasn't really happened. None of the currently listed uploaders has uploaded in the last 2 years, and the only changes made by regular kernel maintainers have been my update to debian/watch and Salvatore's recent addition of Ferenc's patch. I think it may make more sense to hand over to a new team, rather than keeping it with the kernel team. Daniel apparently wants to be on that team. Who else? I notice that the git repository doesn't reflect the package contents properly due to the current upstream version being incorrectly imported. The tag names also don't match the current standard format. Here's a repository with those two problems fixed and the recent NMUs added: https://git.decadent.org.uk/gitweb/?p=nfs-utils.git;a=summary (I haven't pushed these changes to Alioth since this is rewriting history. Also, this doesn't include the oldest branches and tags which are entirely detached from the current history.) Ben. -- Ben Hutchings If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.
