  Description     : AUCTeX version 12, LaTeX environment for Emacs

Hello,

This is not truly an ITP but a request for guidance.
auctex v11.91 already exists in Debian, and has not been updated since
2018 despite bug reports requesting that.  Specifically, the preview-latex
feature no longer works due to changes in ghostscript, which is solved in
upstream.

The relevant bug #896844 was filed in Apr 2018, the maintainer said "I'll
work on it" and nothing ever happened since, depite numerous follow-ups to
the bug.  I tried to contact him directly in early 2020, getting no useful
reply, except that he considers that he is still maintaining the package.

I am not a Debian developper, but am able to package (in fact I have packaged
auctex v12 for personal use).

What should / can be done in this case ?

Cheers,
Itaï
