Package: src:xchat
Followup-For: Bug #891982

Hi Jeremy!

Could you provide any references to bug reports which indicates
that there are problems with the xchat package which make it
unfit for release or violate against any of the points mentioned
in the Debian Policy?

Please note that we have other packages in Debian like xemacs21
or micropolis-activity whose upstream is long dead but where we
have compotent maintainers in Debian who are actively taking care
of this package.

I don't think a rant posted on reddit by the author of a fork
is justified enough to ask for a package to be removed from
the archive.

As long as there aren't any serious policy or security issues,
Debian usually doesn't impose any limitations on what packages
get maintained in the archive and which not.

Thanks,
Adrian
