Bug#896089: cplay: Please move to new upstream source

[Tobias Bengfort <tobias.bengfort@posteo.de>]

Package: cplay
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

the version of cplay that is packaged with debian is 7 years old.  The
upstream source is no longer active, but there are two active forks I
know of: <https://github.com/xi/cplay-ng> (maintained by myself) and
<https://github.com/andreasvc/cplay>.

Both forks have fixed several bug, refactored the code to modern
coding python coding standards (e.g. pep8), and support python3. They
have also added support for new backends like gst123 and mpv. My
version is packaged for pypi. We activly share patches.

Note that I started my fork after reporting
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=691239>.

Given that python2 support will end in 2020, I would like to ask you
to switch to one of these upstream repos. Is there anything we can do
to help with that switch?
