Version: 1.3+nmu1
Severity: serious
Justification: grab attention of maintainer

I suggest removing pv-grub-menu from Debian for the following reasons:

 * Homepage, location of source not documented
 * Last maintainer upload in 2014 (bugs filed later got no response from 
maintainer)
 * There are no votes in popcon
   
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=pv-grub-menu&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
 * Maintainer wrote in private mail "between updating VCS URLs or asking for 
removal, I support removal."

This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.

In case the package should be kept in unstable, please provide a valid
homepage / download location for the source and decrease the severity of
this bug.  I'm happily assist in updating the Vcs URL to Salsa and
modernise the package if there is some real interest in it.

In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:

    Control: severity -1 normal
    Control: retitle -1 RM: pv-grub-menu -- RoM; rc-buggy
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:pv-grub-menu

Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.

Thi package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] 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.
