It's not so much that I'm not as interested in the project any more.
It's just other things came up, I got a cool job, and I'm back at university
now which takes up quite a lot of time. Anyway, regardless of my
reasons, I cannot deny that I'm not putting enough time into debexpo as
of late.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I never got the impression the repository
was "closed". After all, with Git, everyone has commit rights!

Of course. You probably should have booted me months ago for my
apatheticism.
So, I'm finding it hard to find time for debexpo coding at the moment,
but I'm sure I've time to be its maintainer. After all, and I try not to sound
too big-headed here, but I probably know the most about debexpo and its
previous design decsions, being the sole author so far. I also feel I'm
a little more a Git man than Christoph (no offence intended). :-)
Would you be okay if I continued with being the maintainer, but not such
an active coder, Christoph? If you're not comfortable with it then please do
feel free to say no!
Kind regards,
