I was the one who brought nfs-utils into the kernel team, expecting
that it would benefit from coordination with kernel maintainers, but
aside from my contributions in 2009-2011 that hasn't really happened.
None of the currently listed uploaders has uploaded in the last 2
years, and the only changes made by regular kernel maintainers have
been my update to debian/watch and Salvatore's recent addition of
Ferenc's patch.

I think it may make more sense to hand over to a new team, rather than
keeping it with the kernel team.  Daniel apparently wants to be on that
team.  Who else?

I notice that the git repository doesn't reflect the package contents
properly due to the current upstream version being incorrectly
imported.  The tag names also don't match the current standard format. 
Here's a repository with those two problems fixed and the recent NMUs
added:

https://git.decadent.org.uk/gitweb/?p=nfs-utils.git;a=summary

(I haven't pushed these changes to Alioth since this is rewriting
history.  Also, this doesn't include the oldest branches and tags which
are entirely detached from the current history.)

Ben.

If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.
