1 wishlist bug and 1 normal bug do not make a package unmaintained.
Really, the request for new upstream should be of priority: wishlist
anyway. That's not an unmaintained package.

I decided it wasn't worth it for a crappy graphing calculator that is
used by about 5 people with a upstream release that has very few
changes. It also doesn't help the transition since transitions have to
be done in unstable.

I already had sent a follow up mail fixing this.

I consider the orphaning of a package without any kind of consultation
or warning to be a rude act, and thus replied in kind.

If they had expressed interest to me, I would have been more than happy
to hand the package over. However, I have never received any kind of
email, bug, IRC message or any other communication expressing an
interest in adopting this package.

Someone from the pkg-cli team: If you'd like to contact me, I'd be more
than happy to hand the package over without the whole RFA/ITA process.
Or, retitle this bug.
