Hello,
Thank you again, I’ve now marked the WNPP bug as ITA and am the maintainer for ibus-avro (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1121687). Could you please advise what my next step should be?
Thank you for your continued help.
Best regards,
Md. Asif Hossain
I wrote this email as per your instructions,Subject: ITA: ibus-avro -- IBus engine for Avro Phonetic
Control: retitle -1 ITA: ibus-avro -- Intent To Adopt
Control: owner -1 md.asifhossainayon@gmail.com
Hello,
I would like to announce my intention to adopt the Debian package "ibus-avro" (Bug #1121687).
I am Md. Asif Hossain, a final-semester B.Sc. CSE student, and I would like to maintain this package going forward.
I am interested in this package because it provides Bangla typing support through IBus, which is important for many users, and it aligns with my passion for Linux, open-source development, and packaging work.
I am committed to maintaining ibus-avro responsibly, fixing outstanding bugs, keeping packaging up-to-date, and ensuring quality releases for Debian. I intend to upload a clean source package under my name and follow Debian policy and mentorship guidance throughout this process.
Please consider this message as my formal declaration of Intent To Adopt ibus-avro.
Thank you.
Best regards,

1. Send the email to the bug report at the following address:
1121687@bugs.debian.org
2. The first lines of your email should be:
Control: retitle -1 ITA: ibus-avro -- Intent To Adopt
Control: owner -1 md.asifhossainayon@gmail.com
3. After the above two lines, include some body text explaining that you are
adopting the package, explaining your interest in the package and your
commitment to maintain it going forward.
For sake of completeness, you only need to email the bug directly when you are
adding text that should appear in the bug report. If you just need to run
commands to do things like change the owner or retitle the bug, you can do it
by emailing control@bugs.debian.org. When you do that, you need to specify
the bug number in the control commands, as demonstrated below.
Control: retitle 1121687 ITA: ibus-avro -- Intent To Adopt
