Hi
I'm interested in salvaging your package checksecurity, in accordance
with the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers
Reference[1]. Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I
would love to assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage
process suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my
opinion:
- NMUs, (more than one NMU in a row).
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- There are QA issues with the package.
I believe your package should be maintained by the Debian team on Salsa
and I've took the freedom to create a Salsa repository here[2]. If you
choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it
to another location, wherever you prefer. My goal is to make it as easy
as possible for contributors to join your effort to maintain this
package.
Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
