Ouch, just noticed the removal now from aptitude listing it in the Obsolete section. :`( I still use it to manage currently active mailing lists (from fd.o for example), and I think there are still many Mailman 2 based mailing lists around, so removing the package seems like a disservice for people that still need to admin those lists, but cannot do much about upgrading them to Mailman 3 (where we'd not have a tool in Debian anyway :). The problem with removing these kind of packages is that, to reintroduce them, I wouldn't feel too good about doing an upload through NEW and still keeping it as QA maintained (not even sure if that would even pass NEW!), as I don't think I should be adding more stuff to my plate. :/ Thanks, Guillem
