Comment 3 for bug 1623639

I looked at those threads, but I don't see any convincing reason why a bug in useful software should not be fixed just because the software is old. The Linux kernel is 25 years old, and still being maintained :)

It seems to be more of a case of "the maintainer can't be bothered to maintain the package"? Is there a process by which one can request the package to be transferred to another maintainer?
