Bug#912306: ITS: efitools
Package: efitools
Version: 1.4.2-2+b1
Severity: important
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Dear Maintainer,
It seems that this package is not maintained anymore.
The version currently package, 1.4.2, was released by upstream in
October 2013, that's 5 years ago. [1]
A bug was opened in May 2016, asking to package a new upstream version.
This bug was not answered so far. [2]
I myself opened a bug in June 2018, and submitted a debdiff of a new
version of the package, and there's been no answer. [3]
I also e-mailed the maintainer privately, but I didn't receive any
reply.
Therefore I would like to "salvage" this package. I would like to
handover the maintenance of this package to the Debian EFI Team [4],
which already maintains a bunch of EFI related packages. Then I will
request to join the EFI Team and help maintaining this package through
the team.
Best regards,
Arnaud
