pdfjam needs a new maintainer about pdfjam

[DavidFirth]

I am still, for now, listed at CTAN as the (inactive) maintainer of pdfjam. I hope this might change at some point, if someone else wants to take the software forward.

I would be happy to take over. I just filed an issue, so I have an immediate interest. I would not plan to add much in the way of features, but would be happy to assess and apply patches and fix bugs.

I'm the maintainer of psutils; indeed, it's partly because I would like to be able to work with PDF files directly that I'm inclined to put some effort into pdfjam. At the moment I find myself still using pdf2ps | psutils | ps2pdf because of weirdness like the bug I just reported in pdfjam; it would be nice to solve that!

Many thanks @rrthomas for this. I will happily hand over pdfjam to you.

I don't know how best to arrange this, for a smooth handover. If you would prefer to settle the details offline, please feel free to write to my Warwick email address for that --- find it via https://warwick.ac.uk/dfirth.

@rrthomas many thanks again for taking this on, it is much appreciated.

The CTAN package (which feeds TeXLive) still lists me as the (inactive) maintainer. Do you @rrthomas want to become the maintainer of that as well, or do you prefer to leave that as an open issue to be resolved still? I hope it's clear what I mean. https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/pdfjam

Feel free to let CTAN support know I maintain it!

Thanks --- the CTAN record has now been changed. I am very happy to be able to close this issue now.
