Package: auctex Version: 13.2-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: Davide G. M. Salvetti <sa...@debian.org>, OHURA Makoto <oh...@debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salv...@tracker.debian.org>, Debian MIA team <m...@qa.debian.org>
Dear Maintainer, I would like to request an ITS on auctex, in accordance with the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developer Reference[1]. I believe auctex meets the criteria for ITS, and I would like to assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the salvaging process suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion: * Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the maintainer. * Upstream has released several versions, but despite there being a bug entry asking for it, it has not been packaged. * There are QA issues with the package. * There is no visible activity regarding the package for six months. Examples include Bug#1069137, Bug#1056939, etc. I have a fork of the maintainers' repository that implemented the suggested improvements[2], and would like to move the package to the Debian Emacsen team as team maintained. If the maintainers or uploaders would like to keep maintainership, I am also open to co-maintaining the package. I would also like to thank the current maintainers and uploaders for their previous work on maintaining auctex and I have learned a lot when working on this package. Thanks in advance.
