Away for indeterminate amount of time due to personal reasons.  Availability unpredictable until further notice.

[Comment 7 Michał Górny 2018-01-06 22:06:40 UTC]

The proxy-maintainers team members have agreed upon removing you from the capacity of proxied maintainer for the following packages:

  net-im/skypeforlinux
  net-misc/bopm

The reason for the removal is your prolonged absence. The packages will benefit from new maintainers with higher level of availability. I will commit the metadata.xml update shortly, and then announce the latter package up for grabs.

When you can actively maintain your packages again, feel free to contact us. In the meantime, best luck in solving your problems.

For the record I'd like to state the following:

my proxied maintainership for skypeforlinux has been preempted by someone who has shown greater initiative than I and I'm happy to yield that package to my proxied co-maintainer.  He managed to use an automated script to ping upstream sources and discover the need for a revbump long before I get around to it.  Since he has demonstrated greater initiative than I regarding this package I'm more than happy to let him take over.

As for bopm, apart from the security bug I fixed, there has not actually been any activity upstream that I'm aware of, so my availability has not been much required in the first place.

That said, my prolonged inactivity does raise questions about my fitness for the time being so I'm happy to defer to the proxy maintainers decision on this matter.

[e-mail] gets my applause for the superior maintenance of skypeforlinux
