Version: 1.1.6-2.1
Severity: important

Dear Michael,
I suggest removing mithril from Debian for the following reasons:
* It accumulated one important bug:
# 1019179: /usr/lib/nodejs is deprecated
which makes me wonder whether this version of the package is helpful
for our users
* The packaged version is 1.1.6 while upstream has 3.0.0 so we
are shipping a very outdated version of this and its not clear
to me whether we have some proper upgrade strategy nor what the
reason for keeping the old version might be.
* Popcon is very low
https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=mithril
* There are no rdepends
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 evaluate the bug
above.
* If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.
* Is there any strategy to upgrade to latest upstream or do we need
this old version.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: mithril -- RoM; outdated, no rdepends
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:mithril
Please let me know if I'm missing anything and this package might be
important as it is. In this case feel free to close this bug report
immediately.
In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.
Control: tags -1 + wontfix
This 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 help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards and have a nice Christmas
Andreas.
