Hello colleagues developers, Following the procedure http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_policy#What_to_do_if_a_main... I would like to take the ownership of the dd_rescue and ddrescue packages.

It seems it is not possible to contact original owner of these packages - Andreas Thienemann - for quite some time.

• I have tried several times to contact the owner - bugzilla/emails

• bugs for the upgrade to current versions are opened for extensive time

ddrescue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=591042 dd_rescue https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=807220

• tried to search for contact here on the devel list

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2012-June/168582.html

If nobody has any objections I would like to co-maintain these packages, continue updating these packages and keeping Andreas Thienemann as co-maintainer for the case he would return to Fedora world.

Sure, go ahead.

Bill
