Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Debian.

From the website (which unfortunately uses github):

  pw was written by Dashamir Hoxha (dashohoxha@gmail.com). The code is
  on GitHub at https://github.com/dashohoxha/pw. pw started as a fork of
  pass (http://www.passwordstore.org/), written by Jason A. Donenfeld
  (Jason@zx2c4.com).

pass is already packaged, works perfectly (I use it myself), has an
active upstream, and doesn't use github (which IMO is a feature
nowadays).  What is the advantage of having "pw" in the archive?

Thanks,
