Fwd: Wanted: maintainer for git's emacs support
Greetings,
This message caught my attention yesterday:
> - would anyone be interested in adopting this code in Debian?
I would be willing to give this a try. Keep in mind that I've not been
a Debian maintainer previously and my expectations are based loosely
on the support tickets that were mentioned.
Myself, I live near Boston, am going to school part-time, and have
only used or worked with Unix and GNU Linux since 1995. I don't
usually say GNU Linux, either.
The New Maintainer's Guide looks relevant, but let me know if there
are other sources I should read. Let me know your thoughts on this
matter.
Sincerely,
J. Toby Knudsen

Subject: Wanted: maintainer for git's emacs support
Hi,
None of the current Debian git maintainers seem to use emacs. This
means git's emacs support[1] does not get as much care as it deserves:
see for example bugs #611936, #611931, #611932, #611933, #611934,
#577834, and #611935.
The upstream maintainer is very friendly and responsive though he
doesn't seem to have much time for it these days. Users are friendly
and responsive, too. So I wonder:
- would anyone be interested in adopting this code in Debian?
- if not, should we be shipping it?
Thoughts welcome. (Actions even more so. :))
Jonathan
