> I'm willing to RFA the ldap2dns package, no problems here

I don't quite understand that. Does the "no problems here" mean he has time and doesn't think it needs to be put up for adoption, or that he doesn't mind it being put up for adoption. Would he accept you as a co-maintainer?

The best way forward is to get it updated in Debian, which means you should try and co-maintain the package, if you can. I see a release-critical bug in Debian that should be fixed ASAP, so there is work to do here. Debian has also *just* frozen for the wheezy release, but it's still early in the freeze, so it may be possible to persuade the release team to update ldap2dns. That means you need to move fast, though.

If that isn't going to work out, we just need to fix it in Ubuntu's development release: quantal.

Once it's fixed in the Ubuntu development release (preferably by syncing from Debian), important patches can be applied to the version in precise.

As to mentoring, stick your nose into #ubuntu-motu on IRC. There are usually helpful people around. You can also prod/mail me, if you need to.
