Bradley,
Thank you for including me on this e-mail. It looks like your previous
attempt to contact me did not make it.

I have replaced my prior use of Twin with screen recently, so at this time
it would be best for an active user to be the maintainer. With that being
said, I will hand off maintenance of Twin to you and I will send a message
to the slackbuilds.org mailing list notifying the admins of the change of
ownership.
