Package: wnpp Severity: normal Hoi,
some years ago, my work in Debian started by adopting the non-maintained masqmail package, because I were afraid that it would drop out of Debian otherwise. Shortly afterwards I also became masqmail's upstream developer. While I still care for upstream and use it myself, I don't find the time and interest to care for the Debian package any longer. A joint effort with Steffen Rumberger and jhr to modernize the package and switch to the 0.3 branch of masqmail got stuck halfway through. Our common decision is to search for a new package maintainer now. We would be happy to find someone who modernizes the package. There's a bunch of work by Steffen, which misses only some further cleanups, we think. Someone with knowledge of modern Debian packaging should be well able to do this. Because masqmail is an MTA and a config migration to 0.3 is needed, its package is not trivial, but on the other hand, one is able to learn a lot with this package. As the upstream author, I offer full support to the package maintainer. Upstream development is low, thus few regular packaging work will be necessary, after the package is modernized once. (It would be already of great help, if a one-time modernization would be done.) meillo P.S. If no new maintainer is found until 2015-12-01, I'll change the RFA to O.
