ITA: cyrus-sasl2?
cyrus-sasl2 is an important package, and according to p.q.d.o, it's
been nearly two years since Dima Barsky last made a release. In the
intervening time there have been numerous NMUs, but no one has claimed
ownership, and it currently has 5 RC bugs, 39 important/normal ones,
etc.
I other words, this package seems undermaintained.
It turns out that I need an updated version of the package for my own
purposes, so I'm going to be going through the patches in 2.1.19 and
seeing which ones apply, etc., and I'm going to be keeping up with it
(though releases are infrequent), so it occurs to me that perhaps I
should consider adopting it.
I guess at this point I mostly would like to find out if anyone else
intends to work on it. I'm happy to defer to someone else, but if no
one else has plans, then I'll go further than just putting together
something for my own needs and work to go through the bug reports,
etc, with the intention of getting a new version uploaded.
Does this seem reasonable?
