Bug#941772: reportbug: It should be possible to flag a package as unmaintained
Package: reportbug
Version: 7.5.3
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I have been trying to report bugs for the codeblock package, the maintainer seems to neglect the package so it would be useful to flag the package as neglected / unmaintained for others to catch it.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Nothing. reportbug has (to my knowledge) no way of flagging a package as neglected.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Nothing as I did not do anything
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Nothing. Just a wishlist
