I orphaned his mosix packages a few months ago; at that time, he said he'd maintain his other packages, but obviously didn't. I sent a mail today. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dima Barsky MIA?
Hello, Browsing over the RC bugs list I ended up checking cyrus-sasl2's page on packages.qa.debian.org. According to the public[1] echelon info (Last modified) dima was last seen on 2003/08/13 12:49:13 UTC and most of the packages have been NMU'd at least once. I am asking because libsasl2 is priority: important. cu andreas [1] I don't know my password by heart.

Well, he turns up every once in a while and makes uploads, which is why I haven't contacted him yet. But yeah, I find him to be missing quite regularly... -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Helping busy maintainers
There are some developers who are clearly too busy to maintain their packages properly, but yet cannot be considered inactive enough so that their packages should be given away. I'd like to have a group of people who are willing to help those developers out by co-maintaining their packages for a while. Anyone interesting, please let me know and I will give you a listing of maintainers/packages. -- Martin Michlmayr [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Dima Barsky MIA?
Hello Andreas, No, I'm still alive, only came back from holidays yesterday. I'll need a few days to go through my mailbox, so I intend to upload the next version of cyrus-sasl2 this weekend. Regards, Dima.

Using it and dpatch, I'm easily able to co-maintain packages, maintain bugs, and keep releases in check with multiple developers. I'd highly recommend that this group utilize Alioth to its fullest, so that co-maintainers can best pool their resources. Ben

During the "NMU at will" period we had in September, a vast number of RC bugs were closed simply by DDs applying patches to packages, checking that they worked, and uploading. If you can provide patches to the bug reports, and tag these reports as "+patch", I can assure you you'll be a great help.
