Yes, and looking through the commit history, it doesn't look like
there's evidence of any regular maintainer going back years unless that
is Fedora Release Engineer. Actually, the bigger item is I'd like to be
subscribed to any events I'd need to respond to with issues. There isn't
much development needed with this package, but I would like to know how
to subscribe to the jed component on Bugzilla or other feed in case
there are future bugs that need to be resolved.

I also contributed a fix for apt-cacher-ng for a different FTBFS bug
last week that had been open for a couple of months. However, that
package does appear to have a maintainer that, while busy at times, is
responsive to help.

I have gone through most of those steps now, though I think I still need
to send an introduction email. Right now, I'm just working on developing
a list of good quality contributions for buildling my credibility.

Thanks!
