I cc'd our packaging mailing list and Noël, since there was also some interest
on their side in getting d-push going again.
I don't have time to take care for proper packaging of d-push and thought about
orphaning it.
If someone is interested in packaging d-push, the I'd suggest becoming a member
of the mailing list pkg-giraffe-discuss at lists.alioth.debian.org and discuss the
topic there. I do absoluty not object to someone else packaging d-push and I
think that having a group maintaining this stuff might also be a good idea.

With best wishes

Wolfram
