Source: balsa Version: 2.6.4-3 Severity: serious X-Debbugs-CC: d...@debian.org
I think we should remove balsa from Debian. I believe it's not used by members of the Debian GNOME team (who are the maintainer for old historical reasons) so there aren't any uploaders who are verifying that the app works. I am concerned by the recent bug reports from one user: https://bugs.debian.org/1093651 https://bugs.debian.org/1094681 balsa has a very old Request for Help bug: https://bugs.debian.org/642906 balsa is currently not in Testing but that's not really balsa's fault. Daniel Gillmor did some packaging work in 2020-2021 but then didn't reply to my comment on the RFH bug in 2022 or contributed to the packaging since. So I'm using this bug to check in with Daniel if he is still using balsa and can verify that it works or if he instead is comfortable with balsa being removed from Debian. Thank you, Jeremy Bícha
