sure. I was actually able to get in touch with Francis back in the day, but this was... I dunno, like two years ago, somewhere around there. He was more than willing to give me co-maintainer rights, and said that he didnt work with the module anymore. That was the last I've heard from him.
I actually had already tried to give Yanick rights to GnuPG (I'm actually the one he was thinking of, who gave him rights to the other modules), but found out that I didn't have the proper authority level for GnuPG itself. He and I together attempted to contact Francis. This was some time ago (month? Maybe more), and we've never heard back yet. I think it's the right thing to do. GnuPG has been bounced around a few times, as fresh people keep taking fresh interest in it. I'm glad to see it's being kept alive, as it served me well during my time with it. I am all for Yanick being given the requested rights.
