I've never said the program does not solve a real problem, it is hard to use, nor it is useless. It just is not well maintained. I knew (and I said), from the very beginning when people started making noises about adding it to my tree, that I will not be a good maintainer for it. I am not its user, I do not know what its users expect out of the program, and I cannot read from its history what the developers were thinking when they designed its features and implemented its internals. I started carrying it in contrib/ only to give it wider exposure, but under the condition that somebody else would be the real maintainer for it. I'd say we should wait for at least a few days to see what David says. Perhaps he is too busy with other things. Perhaps he needs co-maintainers who are also interested in the program to help him. Leaving it in my tree without real maintenance is not an ideal state. I do not know why you think it is a shame. I honestly think it will do better outside my tree. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
