Hey Martin-Éric, Thanks for open this RFH. It's something that we should have done sooner. > The primary maintainer (josue) is essentially MIA Well, I'm not MIA but I do understand where this come from, at least from the ifupdown point of view. Sadly, I've been quite busy with $DAILY_JOB and running low of Debian spoons just focusing on other packages, never having the time or energy to get to ifupdown. I've been intending to remove my name from the maintainers field for some time. I've been leaning on santiago (Thanks you santiago!) on the ifupdown maintainance but it looks like he hasn´t the time anymore. > At the very least, outstanding bugs with patches need to be triaged I'll try to work on this over the weekend but I don´t promise anything, if someone wants to step in please do! -- Josue
