Re: Bug#816363: RFS: fgetty/0.7-0.1 [NMU] -- very small, efficient, console-only getty



control: reassign -1 sponsorship-requests
control: tag -1 moreinfo

please DON'T CC debian-mentors (or anybody, for what metters) while
filing bugs to submit@bugs.debian.org.  The CCed people will receive an
email from you without the bug number, and will be unable to follow-up
correctly.  In this particular case you also risked a double email,
since debian-mentors receive bugs against sponsorship-request.
And you mistyped the pseudo-package name, missing the trailing s.

This is way way way too much for a NMU.
A NMU should fix bugs and be minimal; see
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#nmu

Though that package is actually unmaintained, and don't see an upload
since 9+ years.
Considering that pape is MIA but tends to (slowly) reply to mails [0],
please try to contact him (better as a follow-up of this RFS) and see
what he has to say.
