Bug#174343: O: man2html -- Turns a web-browser and an httpd-server into a man pager.
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The old maintainer of man2html, Nicolás Lichtmaier (nick), is
apparently not active anymore. This package is thus being orphaned
now. If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- retitle
this bug from 'O:' to 'ITA:', fix the outstanding bugs and upload a
new version with your name in the Maintainer: field and a
* New maintainer (Closes: #thisbug)
in the changelog so this bug is closed.

[ Justification: he has not been seen for months. He was last seen on Debian
