Additionally, should i submit a response to the Orphan message in the changelog: All now coming entrys with your name in the "foot", leave the others as they were control: Your Name copyright: You may put some credit to the old maintainer in there... > WNPP list even though I'm not a developer? Would it get sponsered the same You should. You should response to the appropriate Bug in WNPP and close it when you upload the new package -- the best way is to write * new maintainer (closes: #Bugnr) in the changelog, then everyone knows you are the new maintainer and the bug in WNPP is closed. > way? There's no difference.
