Is Paul Dwerryhouse MIA?



Hi fellow developers,

I am worried if perhaps Paul Dwerryhouse <paul@dwerryhouse.com.au> is Missing In Action.

He is maintainer of kannel which I have a special interest in. For some time now I have had to use an unofficial packaging of a newer release due to the package in Debian being quite outdated (see bug#563661). I recently packaged the kannel-sqlbox addon and plan to package mbuni - but find it silly to work on a "fork" of the (un?)maintained kannel.

I now checked http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?maint=paul%40dwerryhouse.com.au - the packages are not in particularly bad state but only one of the bugreports listed there has ever had a single response - back in 2007 - from Paul Dwerryhouse.

What is the procedure for MIAs? I seem to recall that db.debian.org have a last-seen hint but that is only for account holders in Debian which Paul Dwerryhouse seem not to be.

It seems that Paul maintains only the packages kannel and jwhois.

If it comes to that, I can offer to take over maintainance of kannel but would be happy to here from others interested in co-maintaining it (I would want to use Git and CDBS - so you are warned ahead if you have special preferences for or against those tools). I have no interest in jwhois.


Please cc me on responses to this mail: I am not subscribed to -devel.


Kind regards,

 - Jonas
