Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I am orphaning lilo.

The current maintainer William Pitcock <nenolod@dereferenced.org> have 
no interest for a long time for maintaining lilo (see links). From 
co-maintainer Matt Arnold <mattarnold5@gmail.com> I know he have not 
enough time for maintaining lilo, but he would like to provide a new 
maintainer.

For more information see here:

http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/06/msg00400.html  (06/2008)

And the newest RC bug says that this package is not prepared for the next
stable release (squeeze):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=590022

Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o 
for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Because the CTTE will decide about the next steps of this package [1] in
the next future, this package should not be set as 'orphaned'. So I close
this bug.
