Considering you have not heard from Hermann for over 6 months I think
it may be fair to consider the Payment_DTA unmaintained (though we may
need to verify this)
and have taken the liberty to add the source for the most recent
release (v 1.2.0) to the PEAR CVS repository - I've included Hermann
on this email to check if I'm
right/if he's ok with this.
@Hermann: if you wish I have no problems with removing Payment_DTA
from CVS. It's your decision. Though...
I should note that Daniel attempted to make contact with Hermann 28
days ago today, and Hermann has not responded since then.
This, I believe allows the QA team to declare the package
unmaintained/orphaned - somebody please correct me if I am wrong.
http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=60
outlines how the
QA team should work and I think indicates this in that document.
If so, the next steps would be to ask you for some patches for
Payment_QA (this is so we can be assured of the quality of your work)
and if in favour
mark you as a developer of Payment_DTA and give you karma to allow you
read+write access to it in CVS.
good luck and thank you for wanting to work on Payment_DTA
