Would someone from Debian Games Team (or any other instested DD/DM)
be willing to help salvaging "Ur-Quan Masters" game?
I've done all the work of fixing reported bugs and updating to new
upstream, as well as documented changes in changelog, so basically
all the work is done, but DD or DM privileges are needed to proceed.
Basically it just need some DD/DM to open a bug in order to initiate
the salvaging process as described at:
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging
and then review/merge the MRs above.
I'll gladly do any additional work needed to help with this,
just let me know what is needed.
