<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">I'm happy to announce that with the upgrades to the ROS infrastructure, specifically REP 137, we can now provide a maintainer status for catkin based packages for Groovy [1] and Hydro [2]. If you browse these status pages you will see now not just the versions and build status, but also the maintainer and the maintenance status. </div>

Each successive rosdistro will request that maintainers resubmit pull requests to declare their intent to continue maintaining the package. After most maintainers are filled in and the state of the system is determined we will put out a call for adoption for packages which do not have active maintainers. </div>

If you are not currently a maintainer please consider reviewing packages which you use or care about and consider volunteering to maintain them if there is a call for adoption. Being a maintainer is not a large commitment to do significant development, it is simply to keep packages up to date and make the occasional release. <br>
