I'm with Jakub on this one - RFA means that the maintainer would like it known that they want to hand it off, but they are still maintaining it and should have a say in who they hand it off to as the next maintainer. That's always been part of the distinction between RFA and O packages. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
