I just came across this package. It's been three years since this bug
was reported with no response from the maintainer. Nor have there been
any maintainer uploads of the package in this time. There are also
unanswered bugs that are even older than this. Though the maintainer
is not completely MIA. He has uploaded other packages within the last
year. [1]
Any plans to go ahead and orphan it?
CCing debian-qa for guidance on how to proceed. Just to be clear. I
have no intention to adopt this myself. I just think that it is
important to correctly reflect the status of a package.
