Hi Andreas and all yaml-cpp maintainers,

It's a pretty severe situation. The transition of package yaml-cpp from 0.5.x
to 0.6.x is a long overdue and with the approach of Buster freeze, we might
need to do the transition ASAP or we'd never finish the transition before
Buster release. Besides, no upload was made since 2016 and many bugs are
unfixed.

Andreas, I know you might be overwhelmed by other work either in Debian or
outside of Debian (I saw ~1000 packages on your DDPO page...) but I'd like to
know you opinion torwards this package since you look like the only one active
among the maintainers / uploaders. (Lifeng and Paul: I'd also be glad to hear
from you if you are reading this email.)

My personal suggestion is that we fix the libboost 1.67 transition first and
see if we could finish yaml-cpp 0.6.x transition in the rest of the time.

Boyuan Yang
