Re: Poly/ML maintenance

Dear Debian Science,
I have been maintaining the polyml package for a few months now, as it had not seen any updates for several years. Given that the package was not officially orphaned despite the lack of activity, this was merely as a member of Debian Science. I would like to take over officially as maintainer, and have been in contact with the two listed maintainers: Lionel Elie Mamane <lmamane@debian.org>, whose approval I am replying to, and Achim D. Brucker <brucker@member.fsf.org>, whose approval I have attached. Have I done everything necessary, and if so, could I please have some form of official approval to go ahead and change the Uploaders field?

Many Thanks,
James Clarke

Hi James,
I would love to see a properly maintained Poly/ML package in
Debian. Thus, I would be happy if you take over as a maintainer. 

If I can help you, please let me know. My recent career switch (I
moved back to academia a few weeks ago) should give me more time for
working on Free Software / Debian topics.

Best,
        Achim

However, you are still listed as the current maintainer, along with Lionel. Would you (and Lionel) be willing to let me take over as the official maintainer, please?
