Sorta. These packages were orphaned due to the maintainer not signing the
FPCA. When that script was run, I failed to properly set the status to
Orphaned which left you unable to take ownership. Sorry for missing your
earlier email about the problem and thanks for taking them now!
Ah, okay, there is an explanation, I was a bit puzzled to not see
the "take ownership" button though it was owned by orphan, I was
thinking the feature wasn't available anymore.
thanks !
