Hola Victor,

  thanks for your interest in adopting a Debian package!

  Have you mailed Bradley privately as well? If not, it's most likely
  that he is not aware at all of your efforts, since our BTS does not
  send a copy to the submitter of a bug when you mail nnnnnn@bugs.d.o
  (you can read more about this in http://bugs.debian.org and in section
  5.8 of the Developers Reference). This would explain why you didn't
  receive an answer from him either.

  So I recommend that you reset the "waiting counter" to zero, and wait
  two or three weeks for a response. I'm sure Bradley will be glad to
  hear somebody (two people, even!) is interested in adopting his
  package.

  I've also bounced your message to 299759@bugs.debian.org. When sending
  mail in Debian, it's usually nice to CC the appropriate bug if one
  exists, so that other people have quick access to the information (a
  message in a bug is found much more easily than a mailing list post;
  plus one would have to _know_ in advance that such message exists).

  Happy hacking,

In my opinion, the most fruitful and natural play of the mind is in
conversation. I find it sweeter than any other action in life; and if I
were forced to choose, I think I would rather lose my sight than my
hearing and voice.
