Let me first thank you for taking the time to file a RFH when you've realized you don't have time for this package anymore. May I suggest you to reconsider on #668352 ? It might not be your personal preference, but if you want to attract others you might have to set your personal preference aside. I assume the number of people who knows how to properly handle a 1.0 format package is decreasing every day (and wonder if /anyone/ who have joined in after 3.0 was invented knows how 1.0 even works anymore). There seems to be very few open bug reports, so it would seem you're leaving the package in good shape (and I didn't really find something I could contribute on myself). If you know of things that could be improved it would be very helpful if you could file (wishlist?) bug reports about them (but I realize you might not have time for this either). I'm not volunteering to (co)maintain, but feel free to poke me if you want me to look into individual issues. Regards, Andreas Henriksson
