Hi! I want to adopt a package (zile). It's listed as orphaned in the wnpp. I already mailed to wnpp and the former maintainer a bit more than a week ago (just after the last update of the wnpp on the web, it seems), but got no reactions. The former maintainer orphaned it in January 1999 (see http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9901/msg02375.html).
I already did some work on the package, and now it is mostly compliant with policy 3.1.1 (delete/backspace doesn't work correctly yet under X) and fixed all bugs reported on the package (the patches to close 3 of the 4 bugs were in the BTS, too :-) ). Now, I surely can't just upload the package pretending to be the new maintainer? What needs to happen before I can upload? (Please CC me as I'm not on the list) Thanks, leo
