If you spot that a new version is available, you're more than welcome to |
| 9 |
post a version bump bug assigned to the appropriate herd and developer |
| 10 |
(forensics and me, in this instance). |

I don't necessarily have time to stayed glued to exactly when new |
| 13 |
versions of a package come out, but that doesn't mean I'm not willing to |
| 14 |
spend the time to keep it up to date once I'm aware a new version's come |
| 15 |
out. If nobody tells me, it'll have to wait until I spot it myself. |

Foremost has a single bug open against it, which is a stabilization bug, |
| 18 |
that means it still compiles, and works, or that no one's bothered to |
| 19 |
complain about it. So I'd class the package as far from dead. |

Please don't claim no one else wants to keep the package alive, when you |
| 22 |
don't afford them the opportunity to demonstrate that they do. If you |
| 23 |
take responsibility for bumping a package from the appropriate |
| 24 |
maintainer, you can't then turn around and claim you're allowed to cut |
| 25 |
corners because no one was maintaining it. It's quite rude to the |
| 26 |
people who are willing to look after it... |
