None of the packages I currently own require a new maintainer at this
time. I can (and have) RFA and O packages myself, and don't need any
assistance with that sort of formality at this time or in the future.
Is there some other formality you are talking about?
As I said in the portion of my reply which you trimmed, anyone who has
any interest in being a maintainer of any of those packages is *more*
than welcome to start by contacting me and becoming a co-maintainer for
that package. Low threshold NMUs are also welcome.
If there's anything else you are offering to help with, please let me
know what it is, I'm all ears.
Thanks.
