Bug#573497: W3C-Markup-Validator

[Olivier Berger <olivier.berger@it-sudparis.eu>]

Hi.

Have you checked :
http://packages.qa.debian.org/w/w3c-markup-validator.html ?

This is the main reference for Debian packages maintenance tasks, IMHO.
It states :

        This package has been orphaned. This means that it does not have
        a real maintainer at the moment. Please consider adopting this
        package if you are interested in it. Please see bug number
        #573497 for more information.
        
So, I think your first care should be for
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=573497

There's a procedure for declaring your intent to adoption of a package
that has been orphaned (ITA). I suggest that you read the paragraph on
the "O" status in the bottom of http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

Hope this helps,

Good luck.

Best regards,
