+<p>After several years of frustration with the lack of activity from
+the existing sysvinit upstream developer, I decided a few weeks ago to
+take over the package and become the new upstream.  The number of
+patches to track for the Debian package was becoming a burden, and the
+lack of synchronization between the distribution made it hard to keep
+the package up to date.</p>
+
+<p>On the new sysvinit team is the SuSe maintainer Dr. Werner Fink,
+and my Debian co-maintainer Kel Modderman.  About 10 days ago, I made
+a new upstream tarball with version number 2.87dsf (for Debian, SuSe
+and Fedora), based on the patches currently in use in these
+distributions.  We Debian maintainers plan to move to this tarball as
+the new upstream as soon as we find time to do the merge.  Since the
+new tarball was created, we agreed with Werner at SuSe to make a new
+upstream project at <a href="http://savannah.nongnu.org/">Savannah</a>, and continue
+development there.  The project is registered and currently waiting
+for approval by the Savannah administrators, and as soon as it is
+approved, we will import the old versions from svn and continue
+working on the future release.</p>
+
+<p>It is a bit ironic that this is done now, when some of the involved
+distributions are moving to upstart as a syvinit replacement.</p>
