Certainly in not MIA.

Is true that a long time has happened since the last upload. I just got
busy with other things, and so far there hasn't been any serious bug
report about it. So I assume it still works as expected.

I plan to upload the last released version of aircrack-ng on time for
Stretch. Probably on october/november. I don't think I will have time
before.

However, I'm ok with moving the package under the umbrella of
pkg-security team meanwhile I keep upload rights. Perhaps I can also
even join the team as security packages are of general interest to me.

I think it will be also a good idea to setup a git repository for it.

Regards.
