Bug#1102389: ITS: emms
Source: emms
Version: 5.1-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 1093294@bugs.debian.org, 1098829@bugs.debian.org, 1067877@bugs.debian.org, Arnaud Fontaine <arnau@debian.org>, Debian Multimedia Maintainers <debian-multimedia@lists.debian.org>, Debian Emacsen team <debian-emacsen@lists.debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage@tracker.debian.org>
Hi,
I'm interested in salvaging your package emms, in accordance with the
Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to
assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion:
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- Upstream has released a new version
- There are QA issues with the package.
I believe your package would be good fit to either the Debian Multimedia
team or alternatively the Debian Emacsen team. I don't mind much in
what team that package will finally end since both are fine and we
should probably choose the team where maintainers are more dedicated
about this specific package. For the simple reason that I'm a member of
the Debian Multimedia team I took the liberty to create the Salsa
repository here[2]. This does in no way mean I'm keen on maintaining
the package here - I just wanted to have some Git repository I can
easily work with. Moving the repository somewhere else would be highly
appreciated (so Emacsen maintainers just let me know).
If you choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you
move it to another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My
goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd
also be delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could
share your Salsa login.
Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
