so why you want to adopt it? Please consider take under your maintenance only package you know and care about. It doesn't seem you have enough interest in this package (and in the other RFA/ITA you sent today) to Don't get me wrong: we appreciate you'd like to dedicate some of your time to Debian packaging, but until you find packages you're really interested in (use it daily, written in a programmin language you know, etc) there are other things you can do, f.e.: - fix some RC bugs; squeeze freeze is coming, so starting it with low RC bugs count would be nice; try rc-alert tool - do some QA uploads (they are upload for orphaned packages, where you bring them up-to-date without needed to adopt them); try wnpp-alert tool. - join a team and do some maintenance team work: for example, perl, python, java, haskell, CLI teams are some of the biggest team in Debian, and joining them would allow you to work with several people on several pacakges; of couse, if you're insteresed in some others, just ask to join them :) - propose patches: several bugs left unanswered or just wait for a patch to be sent to be fixed; you can try to send patches to bugs of pacakges you use the most, other users will appreciate - bugs triaging: there are several pacakges with a lot of bugs filed (X.org, iceweasel, just to name 2) and it would be nice if you can confirm or not the bugs still applies with the current versions of teh packags. > If you are available for some guidance I would be happy to adopt it > and try to package the latest version (1.0.0). If Torsten is fine, you can propose a QA upload, but adopting a package you don't use it doesn't seems so right to me.
