[arch-general] bitlbee *very* out-of-date

hola, i'm currently rebuilding bitlbee to version 1.2.3 with a modified PKGBUILD from abs. the package in [extra] is only at version 1.0.4. it was last update two months ago today; that's six days *after* the current version was released upstream! for a while, there was no listed maintainer. then it was simo. now it's jeff mickey. i don't know how to find jeff, and over on the forum, it was suggested i post here. so... who's maintaining bitlbee, and you wanna roll up an updated package? many thanks! yrs, kludge
