Bug#345353: O: mantis

[Hilko Bengen <bengen@hilluzination.de>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I originally adopted the Mantis package because I hoped that a
previous employer would start using the .deb instead of local
installations. This didn't happen, so I have never really been a user
of the package maintained by me.

What's worse: Support from upstream in general and especially security
handling has been less than optimal. Quite frankly: My patience has
been exhausted by now. If nobody wants to take over this package, we
should consider not releasing it with etch.

Threre is quite a number of outstanding security issues (#345288). 
Before I cease working on the package altogether, I'll try to assist
the security team in providing a package for sarge.

Cheers,
-Hilko
