Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the sopel package.

I do not use Sopel anymore and therefore can't serve as a good
maintainer. I also couldn't find a good reason to use this instead of
more established codebase like Limnoria, which are seeing way more
development and third-party packages.

Limnoria is also well-maintained in Debian, so I am not sure sopel is
worth inclusion in Debian in the first place anymore.

The package description is:
 Sopel is a simple, lightweight, open source, easy-to-use IRC utility
 bot, written in Python. It's designed to be easy to use, easy to run,
 and easy to make new features for.
 .
 Sopel comes with a ton of ready-made features for you to use. It can
 leave notes for people, give you reminders, check RSS feeds, and much
 more.
 .
 Sopel also comes with a fully-documented and easy-to-use API, so you
 can write your own features. There's also an easy tutorial you can
 follow along with, to help you learn.
 .
 Developing for Sopel is a great way to familiarize yourself with
 Python. It's easy to start, but there's no limit to the cool things
 you can do with it.
 .
 Sopel was also known as Willie, Phenny or Jenni in previous
 incarnations.
