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.
