[build2] How to update a package on cppget ?

[Michael Martin Moro]

Hi !

I've been using a package (redis-plus-plus) that's broken with recent 
compilers. The problem has been fixed some time ago on the project's 
main repository, but the cppget package hasn't been updated since.

I'd like to do the deed myself, if possible. I've successfully updated 
the package from version 3.3 to 3.10.

However, if I try to submit the package using 
https://www.cppget.org/?submit, I get an error 401.

Similarly if I try to use `bdep publish`, I end up with the following 
message:

error: project owner authentication failed
  info: reference: b5ca39cbe4db

I was wondering: considering that I'm not the person who originally 
created the package, am I still allowed to update it ? And if not, how 
would I find out the identity of the person who did create the package, 
so that he may know that the package needs to be updated ? I'd gladly 
take over the maintenance for that package if needed, I just don't know how.

I've uploaded the updated package to a git repository in the meantime:

Thank you for your time !
