Package: src:archipel-core
Severity: serious

Hello,
Debian is trying to remove Python 2 from the distribution
(https://wiki.debian.org/Python/2Removal) and i stumbled across archipel.

It looks like this project is no longer maintained upstream:

* https://github.com/ArchipelProject/Archipel latest commit is more than 3 years
  ago
* the homepage http://archipelproject.org/ returns an error from cloudflare and
  the wayback machine can find an actual page only back in April 2018
* the mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/archipelproject has
  no new post (execpt to report the website down) since early 2016

Here below is a recapt of the status of the archipel packages:

archipel-agent-virtualmachine-vnc           2013-05-05    13

It is my belief we should remove archipel* packages from Debian, in particular
because they are a close-set of packages, and they could ideally allow other
python2 packages to be removed (as archipel* will disappear as their
reverse-dependencies).

If i dont hear back in a week, i'll file RM bugs for all the aforementioned
packages.

Regards,
Sandro
