Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the pixz package. Since pristine-tar added a depends on it, it's rather widely installed, but I don't have the time and energy to pay very much attention to it. I don't know how active upstream is, but there are commits from October of 2019 on github.
The package description is: Pixz is a multithreaded compressor/decompressor XZ fully compatible with those provided by xz-utils and busybox. By default it adds indexing information when compressing tar files that allows fast listing and partial-archive extraction.
