Unreachable maintainer: Greg Hookey
Hello,
Greg Hookey is in the NM queue, but has been put on hold by his AM
(madkiss), for reasons I am unaware of, but which I understand
included being uncontactable. He has not been contactable for well
over two months (I've been trying for about three). I have not also
seen any signs of activity outside of Debian since at least August
(using Google and Google Groups). I have also attempted to contact
him through people it appears he is/was associated with
(bagofholding.com) without success (no replies).
Greg is the maintainer of libpqxx (libpqxx0, libpqxx-dev), which was
sponsored by Ryan Murray. libpqxx has been NMUed by myself twice,
once in early September, and again a few weeks ago. These NMUs didn't
fix RC bugs, but without a contactable maintainer, there was no one to
respond to any bugs against libpqxx at all. The only currently open
(non-fixed) bug is an FTBFS on m68k, which looks like an m68k
PostgreSQL issue (looks like it's built OK now). I've fixed three
bugs in the NMUs.
I pinged Ryan a few weeks ago to see if he knew anything about Greg's
status, but I didn't get a reply back yet.
I would like to request that libpqxx be orphaned. I am making a lot
of use of libpqxx at the moment (hence my interest in it), so I would
be willing to adopt the package unless there are any objections
against that.
Regards,
Roger
I'm not subscribed to -qa, so I'd appreciate being CC'd on any
replies. Thanks.
