We have had no signs > that Peter would be opposed to that. Absolutely not. "Co-maintainer" implies a relationship that cannot exist unless the other party gives signs that they've *agreed* to it. Someone can take over the package as the *sole* maintainer while making it clear that they would be happy to be a co-maintainer for the original maintainer once they become active again; but adding oneself as a comaintainer without *explicit* consent is a sleazy bypass of our normal (QA, TC) processes for changing a package's maintainership. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
