Hi Parsiad

the problem is that the financial package does not have a maintainer to
make the new releases.  I have made small contributions to it in the past
(including reviewing your patches), but that was for fun only.  I am not
a user of the financial package and do not want to take the responsability
of its maintenance.

Without a maintainer, the financial package may even be eventually removed
from the list of Octave Forge packages.  If you have an interest on the
package, are familiar with the subject, and are willing to take the
responsability, the package is yours.

Please keep the mailing list CC'ed when you reply.  You don't need to be
subscribed to the mailing list.  Your email will then go into a moderation
queue (which may slow down the communication)
