Hi,
this bug came up as some candidate for the Bug of the Day[1] today.
Usually the package salvage team is creating a Git repository (which I
did[2] for your comfort in case you might want to keep the package
either in Salvage team or debian/ or whereever it might make sense) and
file an ITS bug to salvage the package. However, the package does not
really fulfill the ITS criteria[3] so I'm hesitating to do so.
The package is simply orphaned upstream and has no real users (since
2018 the vote number in popcon is maximum 1[4]). Thus I woncer whether
the package should rather be removed from unstable. In case you
consider the package worth keeping in Debian please let us know what
team you might consider sensible as the maintainer of this package.
I would volunteer to upgrade the packaging to latest standards and
do some team upload if you want me to do so.
Kind regards
Andreas.
