Dear all,

Right now, noone is taking care of named packages and/or their bugs, after the 
most active dev left the herd. I've asked on the herd alias some days ago if 
anyone is willing to step in, however there was no positive reply (and barely 
a reply at all). For this reason I've assigned 

app-office/libreoffice
app-office/libreoffice-bin
app-office/libreoffice-l10n

to maintainer-needed, and would like to ask anyone interested and willing to 
help to step in and revive the openoffice team.

Cheers, 
Andreas


[PS. If anyone wonders why I'm taking care of this, the "openoffice" team was 
about to become the "office" team some time ago, and I'm taking care of 
koffice / calligra and occasionally other kde-related office apps as 
kmymoney...]

[PPS. However fitting, this only coincides with Chithanh's mail by 
accident...]

Personally, I don't want to join because I have absolute no idea about
its build system, upstream interaction and so for libreoffice :S, I am a
simple libreoffice user

As looks like nobody wants to join, maybe a blog entry (to be shown in
planet.gentoo.org) could be posted and maybe some people tries to become
a dev for libreoffice or, at least, proxy-maintain it :/
