I'm not a DD, but I think the correct way is to ping MIA team about it and then after 2 weeks time you ping them again and they do a little chat and come up with a solutions usally in your favor. Try that, cause they record stuff in wnpp and then you can go on and adopt stuff. i think the email was m...@debian.org but double check that (Developer's Reference / New maintainer's guide one of them had a chapter dealing with unresponsive developers.) -- With best regards Dmitrijs Ledkovs (for short Dima), Ледков Дмитрий Юрьевич -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
