They may "not" take action. Sorry for the typo. On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 7:51 PM, Carsten Mattner <carstenmattner@gmail.com> wrote:

Still not clear what's the hold up. Will try to poke the maintainer on irc.
Well, I didn’t wanted to say so at the time of the previous ask, but I think the maintainer IS the hold up. He has quite a lot of outdated packages: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=-last_update&maintainer=eric
And if you look at not outdated ones, most of them are not packaged by him. Indeed: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort=-last_update&packager=eric
And here you see that over the 6 pkgbases he updated over the last three months, most of them were outdated for quite a long time before update, and 3 of them are already outdated.
Maybe he is quite busy IRL currently or anything else, but then he should tell other devs so that someone could take care of those packages. ;)
I may not know the arch process, but why is it possible for a simple version bump to be held up in a way that no other developer feels like they may take action?
