But I also strongly belive in removing software that no-one is using. I agree that our packages usually have low popcon values, but if some package is _never_ gonna be used, and is abandoned upstream, I think it is an absolute waste of my time to keep maintaining it. Frankly, I'd do something else. The purpose of this mail is not to only push myself out of equation, but to also rm something that isn't useful for anyone in debian as such. > I'd volunteer to exchange our names and upload. This is a go package and you have told me several times that you aren't the best person to work on golang-related tasks, most recently on -hpc list[3] So if going forward a bug is reported against pinfish, you'd probably have to spend more time on it that you'd like. So I don't think just exchanging names is a very optimal thing to do here. If I don't hear from Steffen, or no-one raises an objection in the next three weeks, I'll proceed to file an RM bug. > > [1]: https://github.com/nanoporetech/pinfish > [2] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tApLhVqxRZ2VOuMH_aPUgFENQJfbLlB_PFH_Ah_q7hM/edit?ts=5eb957ba#gid=543782716 [3]: https://lists.debian.org/debian-hpc/2022/08/msg00020.html -- Best, Nilesh
