Hi, all. I am in need of new loving owners for both of these packages, which are low-maintenance, having seen little to no recent upstream activity. I have not orphaned them in PkgDB yet as I feel it is very unfair to the community to simply drop my maintainership of these packages on the verge of a new GA release cycle. So, for the near future I will happily continue caring for them as best I can; but due to lack of appropriate hardware and interest, respectively, I will likely be unable to properly resolve any bugs or issues that arise in them. *** viaideinfo [1,2] is a small piece of software created by Gentoo/kernel developer Daniel Drake, which supersedes the functionality provided by /proc/ide/via in older VIA IDE driver code and keeps it in userspace. However, with the recent failure and replacement of my mother's desktop machine, I no longer have any hardware with VIA chipsets in it. Even though it has seen only very minor up- and downstream activity recently, I feel that as a hardware-specific tool, it would be best served by a maintainer who actually has the hardware in question so that it can properly be tested/debugged as necessary.

Since its initial packaging in December of 2006, its only major upstream update has been for the Gaim --> Pidgin name change. Also, starting in August of last year, I became the primary maintainer of Empathy and have since been a strong proponent of the Telepathy stack, and a member of the Fedora Telepathy SIG [5]. As someone who longer uses Pidgin (and thus, this libnotify plugin), I feel it would be best served by a new maintainer who actively uses it and is interested in its further development.
