>> The package linsmith [1] maintained by speps is actually out of date
>> since many years, last update was on 2011-03-21.
>>
>> Despite the out-of-date flag set more than 2 weeks ago and the orphan
>> request filed on the same day the package was left unmaintained and no
>> TUs took the responsibility to orphan it as it's owned by the TU Speps.
>>
>> However I think that the package linsmith is clearly unmaintained and we
>> shouldn't care if it's owned by another TU and let's go with the orphan
>> request and let others users to adopt it.
>>
>> @Speps, if you're still interested in maintaining the package linsmith
>> please update it or else orphan it voluntarily without any further wait.
>>
>> Please don't misunderstand me, it's not my intention to hijack Speps
>> packages but he actually maintains over 500 packages and many of them
>> are marked out of date, and many others aren't marked as out-of-date but
>> their last update was years ago.
>> If Speps needs and hand to maintain so much packages let's discuss or
>> else let's orphan some if he cannot sustain so much work to maintain them.
