I never handed over maintenance of tunelp to anyone else. No one, certainly not Andrea, ever asked me. No one ever, EVER, sent me a patch regarding the changes in the 2.2 kernel. I complained to Andrea about this some months ago and he got really huffy about it and basically told me to go away and not bother him about it.
It doesn't bother me to take tunelp out of util-linux (indeed, I suggested it some years ago based on the fact that I (yes, *I*) was maintaining it). It only bothers me that Andrea took it over in the most impolite way possible -- doing so without contacting the original author, and telling the original author where to go when contacted about that impolite behavior.
