Hello QA-Team, I am interested in keeping goobox current in Etch. The maintainer (who is in NM) seems MIA (c.f. [1] where Vorlon indicates that orphaning may be appropriate): Dan Korostelev (dan@ats.energo.ru and nadako@gmail.com) has 4 packages in Debian: Name: Last upload rhythmbox-applet 2005-05-16 goobox 2005-05-02 gnome-art 2005-04-24 gnome-ppp 2005-03-25 My main aim is to keep goobox in good shape (I have never used the other apps). If some Debian maintainer is interested in taking over goobox afterwards I would be happy to help him/her. Otherwise I[3] will ask my usual sponsor if he could upload goobox for me as well. I already prepared a new package, the diff for the latest upstream can be found in [2]. That version closes 5 of the 7 open bugs in goobox (please note that I probably do some more QA and #314066 has been updated in the mean time as well). Do you think it is sensible to orphan goobox (and possibly the other packages as well)?
