Hi Ivo,

I'm copying the Maintainers: email here (go list)

You filed this bug in 2017, and closed this in may 2020. However, there hasn't
been any update of this package in debian, and you removed yourself from
uploaders (in git). 


I think I closed in in May because I believed the package was otherwise
being looked after, and I've had nothing to do with it for years.
However, a look at tracker.debian.org suggests the only other uploader
was Michael Stapelberg who I believe has left Debian.

I recall the upstream maintainer, Dustin Kirkland, was interested in
working on the package, but I don't know if that's still the case.


Is there any point of shipping it in bullseye?


I doubt it, but I'm not qualified to judge any more.

If nobody in the Debian Go Packaging Team is interested in it, it's
probably worth officially orphaning.


Best wishes,

2017-02-22 Thread Jonathan Dowland
Package: golang-petname
Severity: serious

I uploaded this as a dependency of LXD which unfortunately we did not finish
packaging in time for the Stretch freeze. As such, unless someone else is
prepared to help support it, and/or users of this package come out of the
woodwork, I do not think we should include this library in Stretch.
