Hi,

I have just rolled a new Accerciser release. It is basically all
included on master since the last release. You can see the details on
the announcement I have just send.

Having said so, WARNING, it is a blind release. I took what it was
available on master, and checked that compiled with make distcheck, but
I didn't test it. I would really really appreciate some testing, hoping
to fix anything missing before 3.31.90 (look here [1] for this cycle
dates). And hopefully, by 3.31.90 we would have improved the maintainer
status. So Alex, is any of you volunteering to co-maintaine accerciser?
Samuel perhaps?

Ideally we would need the agreement of current maintainer. But as far as
I understand your previous email, you didn't get any answer from Javier.
Could you confirm that? If we don't get any answer from Javier, the
alternative is asking permission at [email protected] (or
perhaps at the foundation list).

So, with everything this in mind, how something about this?:

* We check if there is any volunteer to step as accerciser maintainer.

* We send another email to Javier, perhaps looking for an alternative
email address.

* We wait a reasonable amount of time (reasonable is subjective, not
sure how much to wait).

* If we don't get an answer from Javier, we ask permission to
co-maintain accerciser to GNOME.

Opinions?
