[Please, keep me in Cc since I'm not subscribed] Last month I learnt that freevial had been removed[1] from unstable last year because upstream was unresponsive and it wasn't ported to Python 3, thus not fit for bullseye. It turns out that I personally know the people behind freevial because it was born as a game for the Catalan Ubuntu LoCoTeam, which I was part of some time back. So I contacted the main developer and he agreed for me to take over the project and try[2] to port it to Python 3. My python3 branch[3] currently works fine, though the code still needs more refactoring to make it fit Python 3 style guides. I'm also trying to build the package myself but I've never packaged a Python program before and it doesn't build successfully so far. Now I'm wondering if your team would like to keep maintaining freevial or should I join your team and take care of it myself (I don't plan to maintain any other Python packages for now). My main goal is to have freevial back in stable the sooner the better (I know it may be too late before soft-freeze, so I'll explore other options when the time comes) and promote it as a tool for engaging people in Debian Local Groups. Thanks a lot!
