20 On the other hand this may be something for treecleaners? A package that
21 has not been bumped for 7 years? With at least three releases since, and
22 a bumprequest open for at least one year? A link to a webside that does
23 not exist?
24 Sound like a Gentoo maintainer gone MIA or alike.
25 Also the project is currently more or less dead upstream since the
26 upstream dev switched to windows.

28 So I see diegos point in giving it two months to be picked up by someone
29 that may want to use it/maintain it.
