Hi Boyuan, > Dear stops maintainer (Hi Free Ekanayaka) Maintainer for this package is Debian Multimedia Team, it's just that Free was the last uploader.

As I recall, this package is static data, and may not ever need to be updated upstream. Debian's version 0.3.0 is still the current release: http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/linuxaudio/downloads/index.html stops is a dependency of the active package https://packages.debian.org/sid/aeolus which has a new upstream release available (0.9.7). > Making uploads to stops might be necessary according to [1] since we want to > make Debian 100% reproducible in the future [2] and all packages built before > December 2016 will need a rebuild. Sounds good! Also #888669 might need looking at. I am not a Debian Developer but happy to help if I can find a sponsor. > I am also considering initiating the MIA procedure[3] (targeting > package only, not to the person because I know you look still active) if > there's no reply after certain period of time Hopefully that will not be necessary, aeolus is a unique software instrument and it would be a shame to lose it from Debian.
