It doesn't _require_ a new maintainer -- the person who owned in Core could quite happily continue to maintain it at least during the transition. A change of maintainer is something we can handle anyway, if they don't want to continue. And we could bypass the formal review for the initial binary package too -- just make sure it passes review before the first _update_ is actually put through the Extras build system. We need to make it easier for things to pass between Core and Extras, in either direction. -- dwmw2
