I contacted the former maintainer and WNPP, and the New Maintainers
announcement of a couple of weeks ago listed me as taking over cweb,
cweb-latex and sgb. I was thinking about announcing my intention of
packaging cwebx on debian-devel once I'd figured out how to package
cweb (which I've just done). If I didn't announce my intention to the
right place, please accept my apologies and let me know where I should
do so in future so that I don't offend anyone. Thanks!! 8-)
(Incidentally, the Developer's Reference only talks about mailing
wnpp@debian.org.)
