Didier Spaier took it, but the original maintainer told me he was willing to 
update it. I'll let him and Didier fight for it :)

Mail to maintainer timed out (sent from gmail), I'll wait a few more days just 
in case it goes through.

Hello, thank you for letting me know. I moved from Slackware some time ago, 
hopefully when Slackware 15 is released I will return! Anyway, if you want to 
maintain that slackbuild, by all means go ahead. I appreciate it :)
Thank you.

If some admin wants to assign (some or all of) them to me:

MAINTAINER="Ricardo J. Barberis"
EMAIL="ricardo.barberis at gmail.com"
