Bug#945775: python-sponge: should this package be removed.

[peter green <plugwash@p10link.net>]

Package: python-sponge
Severity: serious
x-debbugs-cc: debian-python@lists.debian.org

While looking at some python2 removal issues, I came across python sponge. I noticed the following about the package.

* Python 2 only.
* Only one maintainer upload (and one NMU) ever.
* Not in stable or testing
* RC buggy for nearly two years with no maintainer response.
* Upstream seems inactive (no commits since 2010, no releases since the one that was packaged for Debian in 2009)
* No rdeps.

To me this adds up to a package that is not in a fit state to remain in Debian, if noone disagrees I will likely convert this bug to a removal request in the not too distant future.
