(Please CC me on replies as i'm not subscribed to debian-devel) it's been a long time since I've done this, so i'd like to know what the current etiquette is for an NMI. arpwatch has had only sporadic NMU updates since 2004. I've packaged the latest version and applied a bunch of patches from the BTS (all that applied cleanly without conflicting with other patches), and fixed a few other minor bugs. most of these bugs are years old.
Looking in the database, Peter Kelemen doesn't seem to have been around for about 2 years. I suspect MIA proceedings need to be started if they haven't been already.
Certainly the package needs to be orphaned. Colin
