How to update package with no maintainer?
Hello.. giving gmpc's package page a quick glance, while searching for the new version i realised there is no maintainer for gmpc.
What is the normal way to go in such a case?
I don't ask, because i desperately need it (I am running the git version anyway), just curious what one can do to update such a package...

Re: How to update package with no maintainer?
there are a lot of packages which currently have no maintainer set after we did hit a bug last month which orphaned all packages. A lot of packages still have to be adopted again.
