Issues around zeitgeist-related package you maintain in Debian

[Boyuan Yang]

Hi Siegfried,

Thanks for the reply. That gives a clear image about current status of 
zeitgeist-related packages.

I think that fits perfectly to the situation of requesting for adoption (RFA). 
Please consider filing RFA bugs and state that the adopter should keep you in 
the uploaders list after adoption.

Given the ultra-high popcon of zeitgeist, it is better if we could find an 
active maintainer for it. I am sending a mail copy to the GNOME Team to get 
them notified. Hopefully they will grow some interest in zeitgeist and its 
related packages.
