Bug#763810: RFS: cruft/0.9.16+nmu1 NMU
Hallo Alexandre,
cruft is orphaned (#763888), so you dont do a NMU, as technically there
is no maintainer. Instead, do a QA-upload. See
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#nmu-qa-upload
Of course, it would be even better if would consider adopting the
package...
As a QA upload allows you to fix litteraly everything, it would be great
if you could reduce the bug count a little bit :)
(So, yes, I'm willing to sponsor you if you bring the package into
shape :-)
(Antonjy: You are listed as uploader... I assume that this is obsolete
as your last upload for this package was 1998. please confirm)
