Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

smsclient is a program for sending short messages to mobile phones or pagers
by using modem / isdn gateways (it calls the gateway with modem and sends
the message).

Problem here is, it was virtually unmaintained by upstream for years. Until 
recent i even was the upstream - with the work delegated to another person
(who did next to nothing). The source is bad and i was about to make a complete 
clean rewrite, but due  to a couple of reasons this plans vanished, and in fact 
i'm for now are just unable to continue the work (complete rewrite would
take months, no modem, ...).

I know that there is a not too small userbase of this package out there,
therefore i refrain for now from just removing the package from debian - which 
would otherwise be the correct solution. Maybe someone out there is
interested in adopting the package (to clarify: this does not mean that the
new maintainer should do the rewrite, but a couple of bugs in the current
package need to be fixed). If no one is interested i will probably have the
package removed from debian in a few weeks. In the current state it should
not appear in our next release.

This all is the result of personal failure, and i should have done this
much earlier. I shame for my bad maintenance of this particular package and
hope that this will at least act as a warning example for others.
