Please. There is obviously some sort of miscommunication between you two, so arguing is redundant.
There's no miscommunication at least not on my side.
Now, to clarify: Bumping a package everytime there is a version is the *definition* of maintaining a package.
Of course this is the definition of maintaining a package. But this doesn't have to be done within 2 or 3 hours after upstream has released a new version. And an orphan request shouldn't be sent 2 or 3 hours after upstream has released the new version. And one (in this case Det) should decide if one wants to maintain the package or not. That is, one shouldn't adopt a package, update it, orphan it, wait until the package is adopted by someone else, and then send an orphan request to the mailing list, because the new maintainer of a package which oneself doesn't use doesn't update it within 2 or 3 hours. These are the issues I have with Det. Btw., it also happens every now and then that it takes some weeks until a package in [core] and [extra] is updated even if it's flagged as out-of-date. And there's no problem with that. Heiko
