Source: gbemol Version: 0.3.2-2 Severity: serious Justification: grab attention of maintainer X-Debbugs-Cc: Andrea Colangelo <war...@ubuntu.com>, Andrea Colangelo <war...@debian.org>, 967...@bugs.debian.org, 469...@bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salv...@tracker.debian.org>
Dear maintainer, I suggest removing gbemol from Debian for the following reasons: * depends on deprecated GTK 2 (see bug #967373) * The number of real use votes (green graph) is quite low https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=gbemol&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1 * Upstream is inactive since 2009 so the long standing bug #469501 nasty window handling will probably never be fixed 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, I would suggest to move maintenance to Debian Multimedia team and I'd happily volunteer to do so for you. In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this bug report: Control: severity -1 normal Control: retitle -1 RM: gbemol -- RoM: unmaintained upstream, low usage, depends on deprecated GTK 2 Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org Control: affects -1 + src:gbemol Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned. In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug. Control: tags -1 + wontfix Your 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.
