I first packaged nikto as an ITA but since packages.qa.debian.org seemed
to think that having an ITA for a removed package was an error and since
my ITA  was turned  back into a  removal request,  I have opened  an ITP
instead.

The package  is ready and is an  update of 1.35-2 which  was in unstable
before removal.  It is  available on mentors.debian.net  if you  want to
look at it:

Thanks for your feedback.
