Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

Hoi,

some years ago, my work in Debian started by adopting the
non-maintained masqmail package, because I were afraid that it
would drop out of Debian otherwise. Shortly afterwards I also
became masqmail's upstream developer. While I still care for
upstream and use it myself, I don't find the time and interest
to care for the Debian package any longer. A joint effort with
Steffen Rumberger and jhr to modernize the package and switch
to the 0.3 branch of masqmail got stuck halfway through.

Our common decision is to search for a new package maintainer
now.

We would be happy to find someone who modernizes the package.
There's a bunch of work by Steffen, which misses only some
further cleanups, we think. Someone with knowledge of modern
Debian packaging should be well able to do this. Because
masqmail is an MTA and a config migration to 0.3 is needed,
its package is not trivial, but on the other hand, one is
able to learn a lot with this package.

As the upstream author, I offer full support to the package
maintainer.

Upstream development is low, thus few regular packaging work
will be necessary, after the package is modernized once. (It
would be already of great help, if a one-time modernization
would be done.)

P.S.
If no new maintainer is found until 2015-12-01, I'll change
the RFA to O.
