I attempted to contact Mike Goldman a couple of times over the
past 4 months or so to see if he wanted to continue working
on jikes - I also offered to take over the package if he didn't
want it anymore.
Unfortunately there has been no response, and according to
http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-archive-manip.en.html#s-adopting package hijacking is not allowed, even if the original maintainer
ignores us.
Recently I filed the latest 'new upstream release' bug and attempted to
contact Mike again if he wanted to continue working on it. No
answer, so I was just about to send in an 'i think he's AWOL' email to
debian-private as recommended in the above link.
Seeing you've already done the NMU - if you want to maintain the
package it's yours (I said this to the previous NMU'ers too).
If not, let me know and I'll go ahead and send in an email to
debian-private outlining the situation.
How does this sound ?
Cheers,
Marcus
