  next Fesco meeting, I just need permission from a single FESco member,
  Thanks!>

Hi all,

I would like to take over gnome-applet-sensors from Aaron Kurtz
(a.kurtz at hardsun.net) because he is AWOL. Several contact attempts have been
made and 2 mails have been sent to this list about it, one on the 30th of may
this year:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-maintainers/2007-May/msg00986.html

And one more one week ago. Also he has been pinged several times through bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=235655

Thus I hereby ask formal permission from FESco to take gnome-applet-sensors
over from him, as required by:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Policy/AWOL_Maintainers

Aaron also maintains:
cfv
feh
gnome-applet-netspeed

Julian Sikorski has stated that he is willing to take over
gnome-applet-netspeed. Since I maintain imlib2 I'll take over feh as it will be
good to maintain atleast one application using it. I've no interest in cfv, so
I propose to orphan it.

Thanks & Regards,

Hans
