sorry for the long wait. It took some time to fix all problems and
synchronize efforts within Vector. Unfortunately, we do not have a plan
for community contributions in the short/midterm. This might change in
the future, we (the SIL Kit team) just cannot say when it will be
happening.
For now, we have made the decision to post pone our efforts to package
SIL Kit within the Debian archive. Instead, we will shift development
completely to the public Github repo and try to grow the community with
the goal to accept patches in the future.
I think the best is to close this ITP and revisit it once this is not
oly stamped wit a Open Source license, but also living the principles of
FOSS.

> The Vector SIL Kit is an open-source library for connecting Software-
in-the-Loop Environments. One of the design goals of SIL Kit is to
easily connect different third-party tools, such as emulators (such as
QEMU), virtual machines and simulation tools. The goal of having this
package within the Debian Package ecosystem is to provide users of SIL
Kit an easy and unified way of installing and updating their
installation of SIL Kit.

primary contact/proposed maintainer. But since we are new to the Debian
community we are looking for a sponsor.
