Hi,
(People who contributed to previous bug reports of this package
shamelessly in CC for raising comments here.)
Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.
After inspecting the open bugs of this package I realised that I can't
really help here (except simply follow the 'set -e' suggestion raised in
bug #635020 which I agree to). So I rather think the only valuable
contribution I could do is migrating the packaging to Salsa which I
did[3]. This seems specifically helpful since none of the URLs in
d/control (Homepage, Vcs-* fields) exist any more. Thus I've set
Homepage to wayback machine and Vcs fields to Salsa. I really hope this
will enable and motivate contributors to work on this package.
I will wait for your comments before uploading the patch (I've not only
moved to Salsa but also modernised the packaging - Salsa CI is
passing[4]) the usual ITS period of 21 days. After this period I assume
agreement and will upload to delayed=10 and ping you again.
Thank you for your work on this package
Andreas.
