[Webmin-maintainers] Webmin status

[Cody Ashe-McNalley]

Hi Jamie and Derek,

I have used Jamie's debian packages.  They work well but do not seem  
to use debconf for all of the necessary configuration.  I talked to  
several Debian developers about it, but they (surprisingly) expressed  
skepticism.  They had a lot of confidence in Jaldhar so his  
abandonment of the packages reflected badly on webmin.

I would like to see Webmin return to Debian.  Let us work on the  
package together and look for a developer to sponsor us.  The Debian  
community wants more team-oriented development, so we should keep the  
mailing list activity up to show we deserve help.

Regards,
Cody
