Who do I tell about maintainer change...
Who do I contact to change maintainers for elvis from Susan G. Kleinmann
<sgk@sgk.tiac.net> to myself, <andersee@et.byu.edu> Erik B. Andersen?
Also, the old files elviscmn, elvisnox, and elvisx11 will be removed, and
replaced by just elvis. How do I get these files removed from the
distribution?
I use elvis a lot (I like its syntax highlighting, and lightweight viewing
and editing of html), and have been using a privatly compiled version 2.0
(although the version of elvis in editors claims to be 2.0, it is really a
beta version) for some time now. I contacted the debian maintainer this
afternoon, and asked if maybe I could help out, since a new version was not
forthcoming. This is her reply.

I downloaded the source code, and the old debian source, then trashed most
everything from the old version except the changelog. I then proceeded to
debianize it. After I finished, I wrote Susan to ask what she wanted to do
with it, and this is what she replied:
