Bug#981055: Fwd: Re: Heads up: Bug#981055: O: john -- active password cracking tool [origin: hertzog@debian.org]
Control: retitle -1 ITA: john -- active password cracking tool
Control: owner -1 Debian Security Tools <team+pkg-security@tracker.debian.org>
Hi,
with Julián (previous co-maintainer of john who wants to continue to
work on it, CC'ed) already being in pkg-security-team on Salsa and me
being invited to join (see below), we'll solve this WNPP issue by
moving john under the Debian Security Tools Packaging Team umbrella.
I think this is a good solution for all interested parties as well as
Debian's and Kali's john users. :-)

Thanks for the notification. I believe it's a good idea, yes. We'll take
care of it.

I would not mind if you joined pkg-security :-)
