It sounds like shell-command-el could be removed at that time, but I'll wait to hear back from Dimo, or two weeks, whichever is shortest. Dima, I definitely want to do all that I reasonably can to help this transition go smoothly. Do I have your permission to add your fix to README.Debian? Also, would you like me to include your email address when I give you credit? Copyright assignment for everything in debian/* goes to Roland Mas, Peter S Galbraith, and Julian Gilbey, who put a tonne or work into this package. © GPL-2+ David, additionally, do you think it would lower the barrier of entry for submitting snippet suggestions by additionally having a wiki page, and adding a NEWS entry that links to it. Oh, and mentioning that the snippets would then be manually synced from the wiki to README.Debian. 1) provides solutions for transitioning from package we're not particularly familiar with by the people who know best 2) it seems like a nice way to let people thank Roland, Peter, and Julian for their years of work, no? :-) Yes, I'm volunteering to sync the wiki for minor point releases at least once a month until the freeze. I'd also like to say something in NEWS about how a dropped package can be reintroduced to the archive if someone becomes the upstream maintainer for it. Cheers, Nicholas
