I accidentally noticed that my package HTML_Template_Sigma was a) Marked unsupported; b) Moved to github (where I don't even have an account as haven't yet found time to learn Git workflow); c) Assigned a new maintainer: http://news.php.net/php.pear.**qa/6043<http://news.php.net/php.pear.qa/6043> Everything was done without any attempt to contact me whatsoever, even though I regularly write to PEAR-related lists and can be easily reached. I don't have problems with adding another maintainer to the package, but I'd prefer being notified of such drastic changes. Can you please be less secretive about your work?

Ah that appears to be friendly fire :/ TBH, apart from the 3 unreleased fixes from ~2008 it doesn't look like the kind of package that I would assume is unmaintained/mark us such. (ie: I know you are active in the community.)

There are no unreleased fixes, in fact. If you are talking of the bugs "Closed Since Version 1.2.0" http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?cmd=display&package_name[]=HTML_Template_Sigma&status=CRSLR then two of these are documentation problems and the last one was in fact included in release 1.2.0: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=12221 (see the last comment there). The only real code issue that needs fixing was added in 2012: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=19220

It did get picked up back in 2010 by some of the semi automated stuff I was doing.

Yes, I somewhat remember you doing a few broken releases with misleading notes. ;

I don't recall doing anything further bar the shifting to github - my level of checking for that is "it's got a big unmaintained banner" on it.

This I understand. The problem is: I definitely didn't put that banner there myself, how did it appear in the first place?
