[R-pkg-devel] Re-submission of removed package

[Ogan Mancarci]

I would if the maintainer really is unavailable but it is possible that
it's just a rather long vacation so I'm happy to wait while, especially
since the package remains available on github regardless.

But just to confirm, there aren't any shorter term workarounds that'd bring
the package back without changing maintainers? If so I will give a bit more
time before re-submitting with myself as the maintainer.

Cheers,
Ogan
