Hi,

Thanks for your reply, this all makes sense. I noticed that you
responded to your membership ping saying that you'd like to get
involved again, so perhaps migrating libheimdal-kadm5-perl into the
team is something you can do? If so that might be a good way of killing
two birds with one stone!

Cheers,
Dominic.
