Hi all!
First, sorry for any inconvenience, time lost, etc. that I might be causing.

No. As I said, I don't want to steal Matthew's package or someone's
else package.
My intention was just to verify if Matthew was really MIA and if so,
update the hmmer package.

That was a suggestion to add me as co-maintainer in case Matthew was
not MIA and without time to update the package. And yes, that would
require his aproval.
If he was MIA (that is not the case), that would require the QA team
attention (because this, the first email was sent also to the QA
list).
Matthew is not MIA and I hope that the things are more clear now.
Thank you all and sorry for anything.
