Re: Action needed for R-pkg Uploaders

Hi again,

I would be *really* happy if those who are in CC could clarify their
intention to maintain the packages that have their names set as
Uploader.  Julian Gilbey and Joost van Baal-Ilić where the only ones who
responed to the initial mail from two months ago.

I just realised that there is a new version of r-cran-amelia which has
Chris Lawrence as Uploader.  Chris, according to UDD did the last
uploads of other packages at 2023-08-19 so you seem to be active in
Debian in some way.  It would help if you could give us some update
about your R packages, if you think these make sense inside Debian or
whether some can be removed and you intend to care for the others or
not.

I also realised that Jonathon Love had his last changelog entry
  r-cran-rprotobuf | 0.4.5-1  | 2016-09-06 16:15:13+00
Jonathon, it would be great if you give some status update about your
interest in the packages where you are listed as Uploader.

I did not checked other uploaders yet, but it would be great to clarify
the status of your involvement.  This would help me a lot to save my
time and concentrate on more important things.

As a general remark: You can add your ID / replace my ID by yours in any
package where I'm listed as Uploader.  I'd be really happy about this.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
