Hi,

scim-pinyin is SCIM's PinYin support, which serves some Chinese users.
It has been several months after orphaning the package and nobody
stands up to continue to maintain it. Users should move to other input
method framework including ibus and fcitx, as well as other PinYin
engines which are generally considered much better than the one in
scim-pinyin (ibus-pinyin, ibus-googlepinyin, ibus-sunpinyin,
fcitx-googlepinyin, fcitx-sunpinyin and soon libpinyin backend). It's
buggy with 9 open bugs without any respond for some time. I hereby
request for its removal.
