[QGIS-Developer] debugvs plugin maintenance

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

FYI, I have been trying to contact him also.

Another option I'm trying is to contact the Brazilian user group, asking if they know if he is still active in the foss/qgis universe. They are active on channels I'm not :-) Maybe others can ask there?

Else: I'd second the idea of a debugvs2 plugin

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
