Hartmut Koptein MIA?
Has anyone heard from Hartmut Koptein recently? db.debian.org has not seen him in almost a year. The pcb package has been unmaintained since 1999. Thanks Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I contacted him in May 2001 about pcb and he said that he was busy IRL but that he'd hopefully had time in the next few weeks... since then, enscript and xdigger have been NMUed as well. I will contact Hartmut and get back to you. Hamish, would you be interested in adopting pcb? -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
random requests to remove packages
Hi, More and more we're getting bug reports asking for the removal of packages not from their maintainers or you guys but from random people who often aren't even developers[1]. The problem is I'm not comfortable with ftpmaster making the decision of whether or not to remove the package[2]. So... I was thinking we could either: (1) reassign the bug to qa.debian.org (2) reassign the bug to the package (3) close it Personally, I think option (1) is the best bet. You guys can close it, reassign it back to f.d.o if you agree with the removal, reassign it to the package or whatever you feel is appropriate. At the very least you'll be alerted that the package is issue-some enough for someone to have tried to get it removed. Whereas if we do option (2), it's presumably as good as option (3) since if the maintainer were reading and/or acting on his bugs, the request for removal never would have come in. So would (1) be okay with you? Or do you have any better ideas? -- James [1] e.g. #175757 [2] On non-legal grounds, in any event.

We have discussed the removal of "bug", but I'm waiting for a mail from the reportbug maintainer before I want to go ahead. (I'm closing the bug.) -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Or do you have any better ideas? I think it's effective. If it becomes burdensome, the issue can be revisited. Around how often do bugs like this occur, by the way? -- Taral <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This message is digitally signed. Please PGP encrypt mail to me.
