Bug#703226: can I reuse the name patchwork for another ITP ?



Hi,

I was wondering whether the RFP for patchwork (a console or web based patch tracking system) can be closed.

The bug has seen no activity for 2.5 years.

The interest of this for Debian is probably lower now than it was 5 years ago, as now we have salsa, which has merge requests (similar to github's pull requests).
Merge requests are easier to use than command-line patches and should lower the barrier for contributors (that was one of the reason for the switch from alioth cgit to salsa).

Besides the future of alioth mailing lists is uncertain ATM:
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth#Mailing_lists

I am asking because I was planning to use the name patchwork for something else:
https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork

Paolo
