maintainer for calendar (reminder) program ?

Asked by Larry Jordan

     Hi. Looking at the "calendar" program (/usr/bin/calendar) which is set up as an international reminder application, and can not find anything stating who is keeping up the routine. It is originally a BSD function, but research on the Internet says Debian installations have a more recent version now.
     It seems to be pretty good in and of itself, but I'm wondering why we can't get it 'fixed up' to include Easter (or better instructions on how to print Easter) and possibly moon phases? (Easter in the U.S. is based in part of the phase of the moon.)

     Guess I figured it out myself, took some doing. Seems to get Easter in there, for U.S. (?) I had to use following:

Easter=Ostern

in top portion of the calendar file (calendar.usholiday), and in the listings:

Easter Easter Day

     Had a time of it figuring out that I had to use a REAL tab (NOT \t) when listing personal/special events (like Easter). But it seems to get the correct date for Easter for this year.

     Would still be nice to have someone in charge of the program itself, a point of contact or something.

The point of contact for the debian package, which the ubuntu package is copied and compiled from, is :
