Just for your information: the MIA team is aware of the situation and
trying to solve it. Getting the packages in better shape (by offering
help, possibly NMUing) is appreciated. We're trying to find a nice way
out long-term.

By the way, you can contact the MIA team at m...@qa.debian.org if you
have concerns about maintainers being inactive or unresponsive. Hints to
improve archive quality and quality of life of overworked maintainers
are always welcome.

Inactive maintainer for teamspeak packages

2011-08-13 Thread Stephan Windmüller
Hello!

For more than a half year I am monitoring the state of the non-free
teamspeak packages. A new upstream version is available for more than a
year (bug #594318) and there is also a grave bug with an attached patch
(bug #598304).

However, there has been no reply by the maintainer of the packages. All
bugs are unmodified for at least 300 days. I tried to contact him in
January but since then he did not reply.

Does anyone know something about this maintainer or the states of these
packages?

Regards
 Stephan

It looks like he isn't active on other packages too, for eg
aircrack-ng (RC bug) or ntfs-3g (hijacked).

I know that teamspeak-client:amd64 should be dropped from the archive now
that we have multiarch support for all the relevant X libraries... :)  So I
could probably be convinced to help with an NMU of the package on that
basis, though I wouldn't be interested in maintaining it.
