Description Sébastien Wilmet 2016-03-12 10:11:26 UTC 
The LaTeX gedit plugin is no longer maintained, see:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=698702#c23

It would be nice to find a new maintainer.

If you are interested, as a first step a fork on e.g. GitHub can be created. And then we can ask the GNOME sysadmins to give you write access to git.gnome.org, be able to upload a tarball, etc.

Comment 2 Sébastien Wilmet 2016-03-12 10:23:21 UTC 
If nobody steps in, the plugin will become more and more unusable, with more and more maintenance work to catch up. On the other hand if the maintenance work is done release after release, every six months, this is usually not hard to do.
Comment 3 Pietro Battiston 2016-03-12 11:52:07 UTC 
The plugin would currently certainly benefit from something more than "maintenance work"... but I will do what I can. So I am OK with stepping in as a maintainer.

I never maintained any Gnome software, but I guess operationally it resorts to normal git commits plus keeping an eye on bugs plus https://wiki.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner/Releasing .

(Right?)

Yes you've found the right place, everything should be explained at:
https://wiki.gnome.org/MaintainersCorner
Comment 5 José Aliste 2016-03-15 18:13:49 UTC 
Yes, you just need access to master.gnome.org, to do the releases. Usually, simple packages like gedit-latex don't need much time to do the release... (make distcheck usually passes without errors). Please check that you have access so you can make releases.
