If your question is whether I would deal with future bug reports/regressions/etc if the package stays in Debian, then yes, I would, to the best of my ability. BTW, if the Debian maintainer is MIA, why this package is not orphaned? > By creating these patches, you are making a statement that you believe > these apps are worth saving. How does that follow? It would never occur to me that I'm making a statement. There's an RC bug, my intention is to fix it. I check if there's an RM bug or intention to file an RM bug, I check if the bug is not already fixed upstream and if these are false, I start working on it. Evaluating whether it's worth to save the package or kick it out is sometimes more complex than fixing the bug, furthermore I don't think I'm qualified to make such evaluations. > Otherwise, I or someone else would eventually file removal bugs for > all these packages. Right, ideally shortly after filing the RC bugs (or raising the severity) so that people don't lose time to fix RC bugs that are going to be "fixed" by RMing the package.
