Yea go ahead. I have very little time left for packaging debs. So feel
free to take it and move it to the games team.
Best regards,

Hi,
I'm interested in salvaging your package innoextract, in accordance with
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to
assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion:
- NMU
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- There are QA issues with the package.
I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Games
team (where you are welcome), and I would ask to move your Salsa repository
there[2]. innoextract is an invaluable tool for many games
and game-related utilities. I see little use of it outside unpacking
ols games assets. The same reasoning is valid for old data extractors,
like unshield, cabextract, ...
Kind regards
Alexandre.
