Bug#784854: MIA for "Karolina Kalic <karolina@resenje.org>"
Hi everybody,
As I can remember, MIA team contacted me a while ago. And I explained
that I can not continue my work for Debian at the moment. The packages
should have been orphaned properly after that. I don't know what
happened. I'm glad that someone wants to continue the work on unico. I
don't have any objections.
Best regards,
Karolina
