Bug#566150: O: polipo -- a small, caching web proxy

[Stefan Fritsch <sf@sfritsch.de>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


Denis V. Sirotkin, the maintainer of polipo, has not been active in Debian
for nearly two years. I am therefore orphaning polipo now.

Polipo recently had some security issues that need to be fixed. As a network
daemon it needs an active maintainer. Polipo has recently been taken over by a
new upstream, who seems quite responsive. I don't know when he plans to make a
new release, though.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Personally, I have some interest in polipo and could help a new maintainer, as
sponsor or possibly as co-maintainer (but the new maintainer should be prepared
to do the larger part of the work).
