Thank you, but honestly I am not sure this will be a good use for your time. The package console-cyrillic requires no work. The Linux console font font format has not changed and is it not expected to change. Yes, the package hasn't been uploaded by me since 2016, but this is because this was not necessary. Yes, the last three uploads are NMU, but you can see from the changelog that these uploads did not require big source changes. One upload required no source change at all, another upload was only to change the source format to 3.0, and another upload did just a trivial change in the control fields of the package. These days the only useful part (in my opinion) of console-cyrillic are the fonts. The rest of the package is mostly of historical interest. If some tool in the package bothers the people too much, I'd rather remove this tool from the package rather than waste my time to fix it. Ok, now I have to ask: how serious are you about the package console-cyrillic? I mean you did some work in the BTS and I suppose you are preparing an upload of the package. But is this just a temporary interest or you intend to feel responsible for the package for the future 10 years? In the first case, please feel free to do another NMU. In the second case, feel free to add your name to mine as a maintainer of the package. In the second case you may want to consider this: do you realy want this package to be under version control? Consider that most likely you will be the only person working on the package and the source changes will be none or trivial. In the first case, I think I'd rather keep the package not under version control. Anton Zinoviev
