[Pkg-exppsy-maintainers] Status of r-cran-psy?

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Chris,

this is another ping about the r-cran-psy package.  Could you please so
kind to give a status update?  In case I will not hear from you in the
next four weeks I conclude you have no problems if the package will be
team maintained and I will add your ID to uploaders of the package.  Any
confirmation of this procedure would be welcome.

BTW, when googling for your name at site:debian.org the term MIA occured
frequently and thus I keep mia at qa.debian.org in CC.  In case you do not
have any interest in the package any more it would be nice to orphan it
officially.

Kind regards

          Andreas.
