Hi Mattia, Kumar,
Kumar, would you have any plans to adopt this?

Well, techinically you are already the maintainer. From the current
package:
Source: ygl
Priority: extra
Maintainer: Prabhu Ramachandran <pra...@aero.iitb.ac.in>
Uploaders: Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan <rkrish...@debian.org>
In that case, probably this package should be orphaned instead?
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch05.en.html#orphaning
Since this package was last uploaded in 2009 (~13 years ago) and the
maintainer stated that they have no bandwidth to keep maintaining it
plus Uploader has retired, and this had 3 RC bugs opened (for a long
time), I fixed the RC bugs, and made the "Debian QA Team" as the package
maintainer (effectively orphaning it) and did a upload for this package.
The said bug that I am replying to right now has been open for 4+ years
(almost 5) and hence from a pragmatic pov, I found it right to do.
Unless Kumar has plans of stepping in, do you think we should close this
bug report too?
Let me know.
Regards,
Nilesh
