[Pkg-auth-maintainers] Maintainance of Yubikey-related packages

[Simon Josefsson]

Hi,

I never received your earlier emails, so I couldn't have reacted
earlier. The one you sent to pkg-auth-maintiners arrived today but were
dated 2016-07-14?!  What uploads were missing from the repo?
pam-u2f-dpkg looks current as far as I can tell.

Again, thanks for your offer to help here.  Maintaining these packages
definitely needs more hands, so I'm all for you helping out.
