You do not really need the consent of the maintainer as the maintainer already made a public statement that he is no longer interested in the package. But, again, that's not the point. The point is that the whole process should have been communicated in this bug report right from the beginning. It would have saved everyone time and nerves since it would have been clear from the beginning that you are already interested in adopting the package, so Stefan would have just skipped it when looking for packages in need of a maintainer. > But I just do not want that here statements are made that are not true. Sorry, but it is absolutely true that you simply ignored the usual procedure for adopting a package which let to Mats accusing Stefan of bad intent. And that's my whole point. > And finally Paul Wise has on spoken to us about this points on May 10. I don't understand what this has to do with Paul Wise. He is a DD the same way as I am a DD. > I don't understand why this points are still being discussed in public. Because keeping this discussion in private is the reason this whole thing was triggered in the first place. This whole problem is a result of poor communication, nothing else. In any case, please agree with Stefan who of you wants to adopt the package and I am happy to sponsor it. Once you have agreed, please set the owner of this bug report to the person who wants to adopt the package to avoid any further confusion. Cheers, Adrian -- .''`.
