Package: scrollz
Severity: serious

thank you
Dear maintainers,
according to my research, scrollz is a fork of ircii, also in Debian. However,
scrollz last update was 2016 while icrii is still frequently releasing new
versions.
Additionally, even if there was a new upstream version in 2016, it was never
packaged for Debian. This lets me believe that the package is no longer
maintained in Debian.
Due to the fact that the scrollz has an open security issue, is not maintained
upstream and Debian, having a very low popcon value and ircii being available,
I think it is probably best to remove the package from Debian at this point.
If there is no answer to this bug within 3 months, I will reassign this bug to
ftp.debian.org for the actual removal.
If you disagree, just close the bug, but it would be great if the package could
be fixed into back into an releasble state.
If you agree, please reassign the bug to ftp.debian.org.
Thanks,
tobi

Though I don't currently have a key in the Debian keyring, I have been
able to upload, with the help of debian-mentors, fixes for the security
issue noted.
Upstream is still around, just not very active as the project is rather
stable. They've prepared a new version that includes the above fix and
other minor bugfixes.
I've updated the debian/ directory in my local Git repo and plan to upload
the new version once bullseye releases and the freeze ends.
