Hi Laszlo .
I know this thread is for TUs only and your offer to be asked was for
them exclusively .

But I really have to ask this question :
Why did you send me an e-mail asking me If I'm still with Arch & If you can
maintain my pkg "spim" ?

The package wasn't an orphan , out of date or dysfunctional . I replied
asking you to give me feedback or suggest improvements . I suggested
that you should have done this via a comment in the 1st place because
the notification system was implemented for a reason & maintainers subscribe for notifications to keep up-to-date with users' comments .

It really felt weired when you didn't leave a comment or e-mail me back . I thought packages get disowned because they need immediate care . I was actually not happy with the possibility of losing a package for no good reason (If I was on vacation at the time for example) .
