Hi all,
I disagree with Phil and Tobias' assessment that an NMU is inappropriate
here. Given the salvaging process uses NMUs as an indicator for maintainer
inactivity I feel it's exactly what we should be doing here. NMU and
eventually salvage if Bas still shows no interest in maintaining this
package.
Daichi, I'd be happy to sponsor this upload in principle (once it passes
review) but only if you're interested in taking care of blktrace going
forward.
According to [contributors] Bas has not made any uploads since 2019, has
been CCed on the RFS and not responded for months and is likeley about to
get an NMU, which makes it look like a candidate for salvaging in the near
future to me. So Daichi, you could become it's official maintainer if that
interests you.
