Dear Ruben,
it is your choice to drop the VCS, but consider that later you may want
co-maintainers, so keeping come continuity there may help. Also, having a
serie of thematic commits instead of a large debdiff helps to review the
package for upload. By the way, why don't you try to become DM ?
About the update of john, I see that you drop a large number of patches, and it
is quite difficult for me to evaluate this. In particular, what blocks me is
the removal of the patches that fixed FTBFS on mips. Unfortunately, the only
porter box listed on db.debian.org, gabrielli, is unreachable as I write these
lines. But still, using the buildds for testing builds is better to be avoided
since failures consume their admin's time.
Can you ask on the debian-mips mailing list if somebody can test the build of
your package that is on mentors.debian.org ?
Have a nice day,
