Hi Christopher,

I was the maintainer of this package, though I lost interest for it
because there's no reverse dependency for it.

If you want to continue maintaining it within the OpenStack PKG team,
you can do it as well. Though we're not using git-dpm, and rather a git
tag workflow, you're still free to use whatever workflow you want there,
as long as the package is well maintained.

If you need sponsoring for this package, I can review it and upload it
for you.

Cheers,

Thomas Goirand (zigo)
