Dear Adam,

I'm filing this intent to salvage because it's unfortunately becoming clear 
that btrfs-progs would benefit from official collaborative maintenance.  You 
can read about package salvaging here:

  
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging

The conservative criteria:

  * All activity in the last six months has been NMUs or rebuilds.
    (Yes, I also checked the new git.sr.ht remote)
  * Two NMUs have occured and neither have been acknowledged.
  * It has been almost one year since the last maintainer upload.
  * The Debian package is behind by 10 upstream releases.

Meanwhile we're once again in upstream (linux-bt...@vger.kernel.org)'s bad 
books for failing to provide an adequately recent btrfs-progs release.  
(subject: "corrupt leaf, invalid data ref objectid value, read time tree block 
corruption detected")

My concern is for our users (and reputation) during Trixie's stable lifecycle, 
this is not a hijack, and I intend to retain you as an Uploader.  My hope is 
that you will resume contact and maintenance of this package.

Best,
Nicholas
