Source: pv-grub-menu
Version: 1.3+nmu1
Severity: serious
Justification: grab attention of maintainer

Salvaging Team <team+salv...@tracker.debian.org>
I suggest removing pv-grub-menu from Debian for the following reasons:
* Homepage, location of source not documented
* Last maintainer upload in 2014 (bugs filed later got no response from
maintainer)
* There are no votes in popcon
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=pv-grub-menu&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
* Maintainer wrote in private mail "between updating VCS URLs or asking for
removal, I support removal."
This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.
In case the package should be kept in unstable, please provide a valid
homepage / download location for the source and decrease the severity of
this bug. I'm happily assist in updating the Vcs URL to Salsa and
modernise the package if there is some real interest in it.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: pv-grub-menu -- RoM; rc-buggy
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:pv-grub-menu
Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.
Thi package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.

We believe that the bug you reported is now fixed; the following
package(s) have been removed from unstable:
pv-grub-menu | 1.3+nmu1 | source, all
------------------- Reason -------------------
RoM: orphaned upstream, not needed in Debian any more
----------------------------------------------
Note that the package(s) have simply been removed from the tag
database and may (or may not) still be in the pool; this is not a bug.
The package(s) will be physically removed automatically when no suite
references them (and in the case of source, when no binary references
it). Please also remember that the changes have been done on the
master archive and will not propagate to any mirrors until the next
dinstall run at the earliest.
Packages are usually not removed from testing by hand. Testing tracks
unstable and will automatically remove packages which were removed
from unstable when removing them from testing causes no dependency
problems. The release team can force a removal from testing if it is
really needed, please contact them if this should be the case.
We try to close bugs which have been reported against this package
automatically. But please check all old bugs, if they were closed
correctly or should have been re-assigned to another package.
Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed. If you
have further comments please address them to 1104...@bugs.debian.org.
