Well, as mentioned by others, it's a really nice screenshot application. One
of the best looking Perl application, like gcstar or frozen-bubble. It's a
shame that there's no "powered by Perl" somewhere on the UI.
And shutter is still quite popular according to popcon [1].
That said, if it's not popular enough to find a maintainer, we'll have no
choice but to remove it from Debian.
I guess that the next step is to announce the probable demise of shutter on
debian-devel and debian-users in the (slim) hope that someone steps up.
All the best
Dod
PS: I wonder what is shutter's status in other distro ...
