This is specifically in regards to the 'proftpd' package maintained by Matthias Saou. Anyone know if he's around?
I'm interested in becoming a co-maintainer for this package. I haven't tried recently to contact Matthias (I will), but past attempts have not been answered and quite a few proftpd bugs are sitting open[1] -- there hasn't been an update to the package for a long time. I don't necessarily want to become the sole maintainer (although maybe), but have the following questions I wasn't able to easily find the answers to on the wiki:
- How can I see who currently are maintainers and comaintainers for a package? - Is there a process to become a co-maintainer of a package when the primary maintainer is absent? - As a 'provenpackager' would it be acceptable for me to push a new release of proftpd if I have commit access even though I'm not officially a maintainer?
Thanks, Ray
