No problem, it had enough other stuff to do lately :)

Moderate experience: I've packaged phpbb (finalizing to get it into
Debian, already running on a few systems), and I'm also nearly finished
rehauling packaging for povray, which I'm also taking over. Also some
in-house packages of no particular interest.

In the meantime I've looked at ytalk and its bugs, but haven't yet got
around to tracking them down as long as I hadn't heard from you yet.

For taking over, have you used some kind of version management for ytalk
which I could takeover? I do like to use it for managing, and if you've
already got some past revision history, that could be useful. Otherwise
I'll start it myself.

And for the takeover, do you prefer me to have something ready quickly,
albeit with not too many bugfixes, to get the maintainer changed?
With holidays near, I might or might not get 113644 (usernames 8 -> 12)
fixed before Christmas, but in any case not anything more than that.
Otherwise, it will be next year.

Regards,
Jeroen
