Packages up for grabs

Hello

As you probably know, dotnet team is really small (for now, only
Alistair and me are taking care) and some of packages maintained by
dotnet team are a headache to maintain.

For now I would like to drop dev-dotnet/edtftpnet maintainership

The reasons for this are:
1. It's only keyworded on x86 and I mainly use amd64, then, I have never
used it.
2. Version is tree is really old, but I haven't tried to bump it since I
don't know how to test it works ok.
3. It was added years ago by Jurek and I don't know if any of you uses
it :-/

Feel free to take it if you wantand, if you want to take any other
"dotnet" package, please contact us ;-)

Or even better, if you want to join dotnet... it would be really
appreciated :-D

Thanks a lot

Consider also lastriting those dotnet packages that are outdated and
doesn't get a maintainer (from these mails).
Ones that you think are not up to speed ebuild (or package) wise.
It's still better to have nothing, than have crap... ;-)
