I've only begun the awol procedure for gnome-applet-sensors, but if aaron has
other packages that are being neglected too, you can request them to be
orphaned by FESco, riding along on this awol procedure.

About gnome-applet-netspeed, of it becomes available, go ahead and take it,
however I must say I don't like you writing: "if upstream turns out to be dead,
as it seems now, I'll retire it.", that seems like a bad policy to me. I
maintain many packages where upstream is dead. As long as users find them
usefull and they don't break left and right because of dependency changes, why
abandon them?

Regards,

Hans

Well, sorry, I did not express myself clearly. I only mean that I have
next to none programming skills, so if some serious bugs appear in the
applet, I won't be able to fix it. Hopefully it is more clear now.

Cheers,
Julian
