Personally, I do not intend to continue development anywhere :).  At the moment I am involved in a minor administrative role only, and I do not have time to write code for pyflakes.  But perhaps you do!  This is why I want to add you to the team.

I am not saying that launchpad is necessarily the long-term solution for a place for Pyflakes to live; but there has been some development on pyflakes in launchpad (the timestamps in loggerhead are somewhat misleading) and in fact I just approved a branch to merge.  It would be best if your repository and the one on launchpad could be harmonized.

If nobody raises an objection I will add you to the divmod-dev group so you can do code reviews and help synchronize back and forth, since you clearly care about quality (automated testing etc) and have energy to invest in pyflakes.  What is your launchpad username?

Well, that discussion can continue :).

As I understand it (although I do not have time to check at the moment) that is an old VCS import of the divmod.org SVN repository and is missing many recent fixes.  The 0.5 release was done out of the lp:divmod.org repository.

You have been added to the team.  Use your powers wisely :).
