Hi Antonio,

postgrey's last maintainer upload was 4.5 years ago and there have been
a couple NMUs since then, in 2019 and 2021.

I am potentially going to replace greylistd with postgrey at work, so I
had a look at the state of the package, and decided it needed some work
to be suitable for me and for Debian.

Some time ago I spent some hours bringing the packaging up to date:

 - I recovered the last state of the alioth git repo and imported it in
   salsa.debian.org
 - Imported the latest upstream version and adapted existing patchset
 - Removed obsolete bits from the packaging
 - Brought up packaging to current standards, according to Lintian
 - Refreshed the whitelist from upstream git master

The result of this effort can be seen here:
https://salsa.debian.org/jordi/postgrey/-/commits/main

My idea is to move this project under the debian namespace.

I contacted you some time ago via email and IRC, but never got anything
back, so I'm starting the process to salvage the package.

I'd personally prefer to be a comaintaner of the package and have you
around so we share the load, but if you aren't interested in this
package anymore I guess I just take over entirely.

I'll upload the above package to DELAYED/7 in three weeks.

Thank you!
Jordi
