Hi Pedro,

(1) If you'd contacted the current maintainer of bc you might have noticed,
that the current maintainer is willing to do the sponsoring, but not just
for a "new maintainer release" -- and BTW that you are not the first one
(me included: http://venthur.de/bomberlcone) who's asking for adoption of
this package. Asking the current maintainer is BTW usually the correct way
and first step you take, when you want to adopt a package.

(2) The current version of BC is 0.11.6 -- as you can see on bomberclone.de
and it's sourcefoge.net-page -- it's the same version which is currently in
debian.


HTH and kind regards

Bastian
