My message requested that he consider voluntarily deprecating the
dkim-milter package (which is based on an upstream that was abandoned
years ago) in favor of the opendkim package:
which I maintain (which is based on a still-active fork of the
dkim-milter project). Jim and I actually used to work together 10
years ago, so I had multiple addresses for him and thought it would be
easy to re-establish communication. Unfortunately, I received no
response to my emails, and I don't know if the email addresses I could
find are still valid.
So I filed the following bug on Sep 23, hoping it might help initiate
contact between us:
However, still no response. Any suggestions as to what to do next?
Thanks,
SteveJ

I'd give him a bit more time to respond on the bug... and then if he
doesn't in say another week or so, lets just go ahead and depreciate
the package. (Any provenpackager should be able to do that).
Feel free to ping me in a week or so if you haven't heard from them and
we can get it taken care of.
