several devs have bumped Pidgin in last few months because its maintainer "pizzapunk" is absent for months now and never giving any words in our discussions.
we should find a new maintainer for this application. it's widely used in our community. I myself don't want to do this work. the new packager should think about moving in farsight2 from community to extra for adding video/audio support. but user feedback is still showing poor quality of that implementation (fedora also has it enabled in their devel tree). anybody interested?
on the other site we should send again a ping out to all devs asking if they are still aboard. Alex(kth5) is also absent for years now and maybe more guys have silently left us.

http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16215 nobody interested? it would be a glory to drop this pkg out of our supported repos. I could just bump it once more and fix the pending dependency bug but I don't want to do the splitting and maintenance for a longer time. -Andy
