It will be redone when I have the cooperation of the other mentors uploader. I have emailed the person concerned and asked that I get the package back into debian and they learn from this, how to work with upstream and debian alike. I am working with the upstream author to fix issues and have. Upstream: https://github.com/jendrikseipp/rednotebook A look at the commit history/merges indicates work being done. This package was removed from debian and any historical maintainer is AWOL and not an issue in my eyes. This is a fresh start from upstream and what is reflected in the current changelog is from the upstream developer. I may adopt the package at a later date when accepted into debian, but waiting for debian to react is tiresome - releases team and mentors/sponsors. To be honest, how much hot air and energy is used to get little actually done is amazing and a real put off for new contributors like myself. Oh... I will exclude Steve McIntyre (Sledge) from my annoyance with debian processes as a new contributor. Steve is a gentleman; we did some live-wrapper work pre 9.1 and testing of the release and he has been nothing but responsive to contribution.
