[pkg-friendica-maint] Regarding Friendica package

[Vasudev Kamath]

Hi Tobias,

OK again pinging you to check our work on friendica package and test it
sorry we lost track in between. And please subscribe to the mailing list
and possibly lure some more friendicans here? :-) [1]

There has been some changes by Mike on copyright which he wants you to
review.

I remeber this has been fixed in later by Mike McGirvin (full name so we
don't confuse  with our Mike Gabriel ;-)) also there was another
critical bug of account expiring got fixed by you. So now can we have
new release of friendica? Its been a while and I feel its stable for new
release please consider this.

Best Regards
