I changed jobs about a year ago and, as a result, no longer use a number of packages that I maintain. (No more Java programming for me; I'm a C coder now, with a little bit of Common Lisp thrown in just to keep things interesting.) It would be good to have somebody who actually uses these packages either maintain or comaintain them. I won't orphan them if nobody is interested; I'll do my best to keep maintaining them. If you are interested in comaintaining, just apply for permission in pkgdb. If you would like to maintain, let me know which packages and I'll orphan them so you can pick them up. In that case, also let me know if you want me to stay on as comaintainer. (I'm happy to answer questions even if I don't comaintain.) 1. Findbugs packages: new releases about every 4-5 months. We're in a long dry spell now leading up to a massively revamped 2.0. eclipse-findbugs findbugs findbugs-bcel findbugs-contrib (actually a separate project) jFormatString (no activity since initial October 2008 release) jcip-annotations (almost no activity since 2006) jsr-305 Also, it would be good to package http://mojo.codehaus.org/findbugs-maven-plugin/. 2. PMD packages: new releases about every 1-2 months. We're in a long dry spell now leading up to a massively revamped 5.0. emacs-common-pmd (upstream appears dead) pmd Also, it would be good to package more of these: http://pmd.sourceforge.net/integrations.html (the maven2 plugin is already packaged, just not owned by me) 3. Other packages idw-gpl: this was originally needed by findbugs, but isn't anymore. Repoquery says that nothing is using it, so I should probably orphan this package. latexmk: I don't use LaTeX anymore. This was my first package (*sniff*). perl-Text-Aspell: last new version was released in Sep 2007. This is required by acheck, moodle, perl-Text-SpellChecker, and xinha.
