[1] The package is no longer RC-buggy and /has/ been part of a stable release, though this is only because of the action of NMUers. I've added them to Cc: Mehdi, Bastian, do you have any personal interest in the dogtail package, and opinion on whether it should be orphaned? If it were orphaned, would either of you be interested in adopting it? I certainly don't think low popcon is an argument for orphaning the package - it might be an argument for removing the package, but isn't a very strong one by itself. Likewise, unanswered non-RC bugs are not by themselves a reason for orphaning a package. However, there's also bug #585287 which has gone unanswered and may actually be a serious issue in the package. José Carlos, are you still interested in maintaining dogtail? You haven't uploaded it in 6 years, and it does seem to be in need of attention. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
