Gürkan Myczko, do you still intend to adopt trickle as stated in
? If so, the
above might help. Otherwise please state there accordingly, easing the
path for a QA upload not stepping on your toes in any way. After all,
trickle has already been removed from testing due to this bug, cf.

When you orphaned libmicrohttpd with the upload of 1.0.0-2[0] you
apparently also depublished its git repo[1] which until 1.0.0-1 was
referenced in d/control[2].

I'd be interested in preserving the package's packaging history at a
finer granularity that just what snapshot.debian.org allows, so could
you please possibly make that repo available somehow, and be it just
temporarily / privately? I intend to merge this into the previous
packaging repo on Salsa[3] (heeding the one misdirected commit[4] there)
and then continue with adopting the package based on that state.

Cheers,
Flo

Bug#933098: Which skills needed for a maintainer for xskat?

[Florian Ernst]

Hello Marco,

On Sat, Oct 08, 2022 at 10:42:59AM +, Marco wrote:
> which skills are exactly needed for package maintainers?

That is a rather broad question given the wide variety of packages and
their respective build systems and further implementation details. As
such, I'd have a hard time to pinpoint the "exactly" from your question.

But now on a more serious note, there are many resources available for
dealing with the technical and/or organizational aspects of packaging,
e.g.

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debmake-doc/
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer

that will also link to further resources. And of course there is quite
some overlap among these documents, and often not all details will be
needed.

As for the xskat package in particular, there most probably won't be all
too many exciting changes required (or much glory to be earned, to be
honest): no new upstream release for over 18 years, most of the
packaging already done with a rather simple structure (just as you
stated: it compiles easily and just works), so mostly keeping up with
the latest Debian standards and recommendations, as e.g. pointed out as
"action needed" on , which so far
I had done a whopping 6 times over the past 16 years.

> Are there people out there who can help newcomers if they encounter

That would be the Debian Mentors with some more documentation at
 and a mailing list at
 (with a FAQ at
).

JFTR, I personally most probably won't be available for any such help.

FWIW, I was able to build FFmpeg against my local librist package using
the attached patch, the relevant part of the debdiff indicating success:

Bug#1007198: ITP: librist -- Reliable Internet Stream Transport for reliable transmission of video over lossy networks

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Florian Ernst 
X-Debbugs-Cc: debian-de...@lists.debian.org, Debian Multimedia Maintainers 


* Package name: librist
  Version : v0.2.6
  Upstream Author : VideoLAN and librist authors
* URL : https://code.videolan.org/rist/librist
* License : BSD 2-Clause "Simplified"
  Programming Lang: C (+ asm)
  Description : Reliable Internet Stream Transport for reliable 
transmission of video over lossy networks

Reliable Internet Stream Transport (RIST) is a transport protocol
designed for reliable transmission of video over lossy networks
(including the Internet) with low latency and high quality.
.
RIST is intended as a more reliable successor to Secure Reliable
Transport (SRT), and as an open alternative to proprietary commercial
options such as Zixi, VideoFlow, QVidium, and DVEO (Dozer).


The second paragraph also describes my motivation for packaging this,
with my newly-acquired SRT maintainer hat on. Further information about
RIST (and most of the description above) can be found at
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reliable_Internet_Stream_Transport>, and
further language wrappers and application integration can be found at
<https://code.videolan.org/rist>.

FFmpeg as present in Bookworm or newer already allows building against
librist, hence a heads-up to the Debian Multimedia Maintainers. I will
send a patch for evaluating librist linking once the package hits the
archives.

Flo

FWIW, thank you for asking. Generally, no asking for permission is
required. On the contrary, by filing an RFA bug I'm indeed asking for
someone to take over. Just for reference,
 provides all the
details.

That being said, why am I posting this now, over two years later? Well,
I simply haven't seen your mail any earlier, as it was sent solely to
the bug address, and this address by default does not forward to the bug
submitter, i.e. me. It does forward to the maintainer of the 'wnpp'
pseudo package, but this won't do much good. Just for reference,
 contains further
info.

Just by chance I now saw your mail while checking old bug reports. The
package is still up for adoption, so if anyone's interested just go
ahead. Not much has happened with the package over the years, but I did
take the chance to apply some minor updates, including salvaging the git
repo and putting it on salsa, as now linked from the package page, cf.
.

Hello everyone,

please note that mails sent to the bug address won't automatically be

That being said, I don't think I will be available for sponsoring or any

Please note that while Kartik expressed his interest to adopt first,
this didn't follow the proper procedure and thus wasn't registered.
Please decide among yourselves how you want to proceed with package

Bug#933098: RFA: xskat -- 3-player card game "Skat"

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the xskat package as I am hardly using it
anymore. The packaging is easy enough, so this will be easily suitable
for any newcomer, with maybe a first task of slavaging the old VCS
repository from anonscm.debian.org. However, there also isn't all too
much upstream activity either over the last years, with the last release
being from 2004 ...

The package description is:
 Xskat lets you play the card game Skat as defined by the official
 German "Skatordnung".
 .
 You can play by sending a window to the other player's X display, or
 via an IRC server. The computer can also simulate players.
 .
 Many unofficial rules like "Ramsch" or "Bock" are supported.

I request an adopter for the xabacus package. Again. It was just that I
didn't like to see the package unmaintained (cf. debbug#382562 and
debbug#39), but as it turns out I'm not even using the package
anymore, so another person might be better suited as a maintainer. 

The package description is:

now. Please note that I'm not using this package anymore and thus would

Speaking solely for myself: I'm interested in seeing a well-working
arpwatch package. I'd preferrably refrain from being actively involved
in that, however, as other obligations keep me quite busy. (Yeah, I
know, everybody just want to get something and nobody wants to actually
do the work ...)

So my asking for news on this sort-of-ITP more points at whether there
is really someone working on it or whether anybody could jump in and
take over. Dominik, in the light if a lack of any visible (to me, that
is) activity or reply, I'd guess it's the latter.

Thus, I'd say got for it. Or anyone else, for what it's worth.

Bug#618373: RFA: libhtml-template-perl -- module for using HTML Templates with Perl

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libhtml-template-perl package.

The package description is:
 HTML::Template attempts make using HTML templates simple and natural.  It
 extends standard HTML with a few new HTML-esque tags - ,
 , ,  and .  The file
 written with HTML and these new tags is called a template.  It is
 usually saved separate from your script - possibly even created by
 someone else!  Using this module you fill in the values for the
 variables, loops and branches declared in the template.  This allows
 you to separate design - the HTML - from the data, which you generate
 in the Perl script.
 .
 This module allows you to store its cache in shared memory using the
 IPC::SharedCache module, please install libipc-sharedcache-perl if you
 want to make use of this.

Nothing wrong with the package. Packaging is easy, new upstream releases
rarely take place nowadays. All patches have been forwardeded upstream.
The packages could be updated to a new debhelper compatibility level,
and maybe there are some new specifics in the Perl Policy I might have
missed. Basically, I for myself don't use this package anymore.

I'd prefer the new maintainer to keep close ties with the Perl
Maintainers.

Cheers,
Flo

Bug#618372: RFA: libhtml-tableextract-perl -- module for extracting the content contained in tables within an HTML document

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the libhtml-tableextract-perl package.

The package description is:
 HTML::TableExtract is a module that simplifies the extraction of information
 contained in tables within HTML documents, either as text or encoded element
 trees.
 .
 For extracting a tree structure of element objects, the additional package
 libhtml-element-extended-perl might be needed.

Nothing wrong with the package. Packaging is easy, new upstream releases
rarely take place nowadays. It could be updated to a new debhelper
compatibility level, and maybe there are some new specifics in the Perl
Policy I might have missed. Basically, I for myself don't use this
package anymore.
I'd prefer the new maintainer to keep close ties to the Perl Maintainers.

The situation with GNU pth is:
* pth in debian is orphaned (#543857)
* the last upstream relase is from 08-Jun-2006 (2.0.7)
* the last release was mainly updating copyright + updating autotool files
* I tried to contact upstream (Ralf S. Engelschall), while doing the
  first versions of semaphore support for pth, but failed to get an answer.
* I don't remember an answer from Ralf S. Engelschall on the
  pth-users list in the last year(s).

pthsem up to 2.0.7 is GNU pth with some patches applied (semaphore
support, valgrind support and various fixes).

As upstream seams to be dead, I decided to "fork" in the upcoming
release.

Please look at:
http://bcusdk.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=bcusdk/bcusdk;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/pthsem/master

* pthsem is now able to cope with system time changes, if it can use a
  monotonic clock.

* moved to automake based build system

* GIT repository does not contain any autotool generated files any more,
  so they get updated at every checkout.

* compat package for building pth applications with pthsem

* includes lintian clean debian packaging (derived from the "offical"
  debian packages)

pthsem is an essential dependency of linknx/eibd, so it tested by its
users on various plattforms (x86 and various embedded linux variants).

Martin Kögler

Bug#561233: RFA: xdaliclock -- Melting digital clock

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the xdaliclock package as I'm not actually
actively using this package anymore.

It's just some straightforward packaging, nothing complicated, and
basically in good shape.
There were some new upstream releases, but none of the changes were
relevant for Debian. Still, they could be packaged ...

The package description is:
 The xdaliclock program displays a digital clock; when a digit changes,
 it "melts" into its new shape.
 .
 It can display in 12 or 24 hour modes, and displays the date when a
 mouse button is held down.  It has two large fonts built into it, but
 it can animate most other fonts that contain all of the digits.  It
 can also do some funky psychedelic colormap cycling, and can use the
 "shape" extension so that the window is shaped like the digits.

Bug#560990: O: xpaint -- simple paint program for X

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the xpaint package.

Rationale:
- last maintainer upload 2005-09-15
- unhandled bugs, some even with patches, without maintainer feedback
- no reply to repeated maintainer mail pings

The package description is:
 XPaint is suitable for producing simple graphics. It does offer some
 advanced features such as image processing functions and gradient
 fill.
 .
 In the C Script Editor of XPaint, the External editor in the File menu
 will invoke x-terminal-emulator -e sensible-editor.
 .
 The gs-gpl package will be needed for PDF/PS reading, netpbm will be needed
 for external conversion, lpr for printing.
 .
 Homepage: https://sourceforge.net/projects/sf-xpaint/

Recently several new upstream version have been released that are worth
checking. Please note that I as the previous Uploader/Sponsor for this
package don't intend to stay involved as my personal preferences have
shifted somewhat over the last few years ...

Bug#467287: RFA: tofrodos -- Converts DOS <-> Unix text files, alias tofromdos

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the tofrodos package. Easy to maintain, but no
changes required over the last two years, and other means of achieving
the same goal exist...

The package description is:
 DOS text files traditionally have CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) pairs
 as their new line delimiters while Unix text files traditionally have
 LFs (line feeds) to terminate each line.
 .
 Tofrodos comprises one program, "fromdos" alias "todos", which converts
 text files to and from these formats. Use "fromdos" to convert DOS
 text files to the Unix format, and "todos" to convert Unix text files
 to the DOS format.
 .
 This functionality is also available via the dos2unix/unix2dos symlinks.
 .

Prospective adopter, be aware that this package has some reverse
Build-Depends and that this package was formerly part of the sysutils
package.

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

This is a heavily patched version of libcdg123, a library to
decode CD+G data into animated graphical RGB data, which was supposed
to be used by newer upstream releases of xmms-singit. As the plans
regarding xmms-singit didn't quite work out as intended (see #424660),
I'm orphaning this package now.

Currently, this package isn't used by any other package in Debian and
has a low popcon count, so depending on whether xmms-singit stays or not
it might simply be preferrable to remove it from the archive.

Status:
- lots of new upstream releases with lots of changes
- version shipped in Debian severely outdated
- currently two RC bugs (CPU hog and FTBFS in experimental)

Originally, upstream was going to take over maintainership of this
package himself and already had some preliminary packaging. However, I
haven't heard anything from him lately and my pings haven't been
answered.

So I'm finally giving away this package into some caring hands. Mine
weren't, as I was basically just waiting for someone to take over for
quite some time. Prospective adopter, please try to get in contact with
upstream about this!

Bug#392138: RFA: xmms-crossfade -- XMMS Plugin for Crossfading / Continuous Output

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the xmms-crossfade package. Back then, when
I hesitantly picked up its maintenance on request of the previous
maintainer after doing an NMU, it seemed like a good idea, but now I'd
prefer to give away my xmms-related packages.

The package is in moderately good shape, upstream is a nice fellow and
very responsive. Some knowledge of xmms and bmp (and possibly
audacious) will be quite helpful as two binary packages for the former
are already built right now and upstream also supports the latter.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it. See
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-rfa for detailed
instructions about how to adopt a package properly.

The package description is:
 This is a proxy output plugin for the popular XMMS Player.
 Features:
  * Crossfading: Crossfade between two songs, i.e. fade out the end of the
current song while fading in the beginning of the next for a smooth
transition. Length and volume of the fadings can be adjusted separately
for fading in and out.
  * Fadein/Fadeout: Smoothly fadein/fadeout at the beginning or end of
playback.
  * Continuous output: Keeps the audio device opened when switching from one
song to the next. When used with the Gap-Killer, this allows for seamless
playback of whole albums without any audible interruption between the
tracks.
  * Gap-Killer: Removes the short gaps of silence at the beginning and/or end
of mp3 files. These gaps are caused by some mp3-encoders.
  * Automatic detection of live albums: Automatically detects live albums and
pre-mixed tracks which already are crossfaded. For those tracks,
crossfading can be disabled automatically.
  * High quality: crossfade can take special care to avoid the clicks some
soundcards produce when suddenly being stopped. Also, it can improve
quality when seeking within a song.
  * Secondary effect plugin: crossfade allows you to select a second effect
plugin. This is useful for example when using the volume normalizing
plugin together with the icecast plugin.

 Procinfo is a small program that gathers some system information from

Description: Perl module for writing XML documents
 XML::Writer is a helper module for Perl programs that write an XML
 document.  The module handles all escaping for attribute values and
 character data and constructs different types of markup, such as
 tags, comments, and processing instructions.
 .
 By default, the module performs several well-formedness checks to
 catch errors during output.  This behaviour can be extremely useful
 during development and debugging, but it can be turned off for
 production-grade code.
 .
 The module can operate either in regular mode in or Namespace
 processing mode.  In Namespace mode, the module will generate
 Namespace Declarations itself, and will perform additional checks on
 the output.
 .
 Additional support is available for a simplified data mode with no
 mixed content: newlines are automatically inserted around elements
 and elements can optionally be indented based as their nesting
 level.

Again, messages sent to a specific WNPP bugreport will _not_ be
automatically forwarded to the person who has submitted that report.
If it weren't for my browsing through the reports your interest might
have gone completely unnoticed.

That being said, I'm afraid that contrary to what I said in my initial
RFA I won't be available as a sponsor for this package anymore. I will
continue sponsoring other packages where the sponsoring was already
established, but I won't take up any new, sorry. Please ask on
debian-mentors.

Hmm, your changes are pretty minimal, and of those I must admit I
don't understand the first line of the manpage patch effectively reading
| [...] If no FRAMEBUFFER
| -environment variable is given or if its value is \fBNULL\fP, then
| +environment variable is given or if its value is \fBNULL\fP; then
i.e. why putting a semicolon instead of the comma?

Furthermore the package is not lintian clean. Please always check via
"lintian -iI --show-overrides " (admittedly, as of now
the old package fails this check as well) and decide whether any
further action needs to be taken.

Oh, and you might want to change debian/watch to read

Bug#344462: RFA: libconfig-general-perl -- generic configuration module

IMVHO this package is in a pretty good shape, and I don't see any
particular tasks that really need to be done. However, for some reason
I'm not that fond of it and / or don't use it regularily anymore, so
as part of some restructuring on my side I'm willing to let this

NB: This package is quite easy to maintain and thus might be just the
right choice for any aspiring new maintainer trying to get his hands
wet.

If you have a sponsor (or don't need one) please just take over.
Otherwise I might be interested in sponsoring a new maintainer,
provided the changes a) show _no_ regressions and b) provide
substantial improvements (no, just putting your name on it and
changing to your packaging style of choice is _not_ substantial in my
eyes). Either way please follow the standard procedure as outlined on

Until a new maintainer has been found I will continue to take care
just as before, of course...

 module is fully capable of parsing Apache configurations, but the
 output is not usable by Apache. You can also just use simple name/value

 In addition to the capabilities of an apache configuration file it
 supports some enhancements such as here-documents, C-style comments and

Bug#344460: RFA: uni2ascii -- convert UTF-8 into 7-bit ASCII and vice versa

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


IMVHO this package is in a pretty good shape, and I don't see any
particular tasks that really need to be done. However, for some reason
I'm not that fond of it and / or don't use it regularily anymore, so
as part of some restructuring on my side I'm willing to let this
package go and find a loving new maintainer for it.
NB: This package is quite easy to maintain and thus might be just the
right choice for any aspiring new maintainer trying to get his hands
wet.

If you have a sponsor (or don't need one) please just take over.
Otherwise I might be interested in sponsoring a new maintainer,
provided the changes a) show _no_ regressions and b) provide
substantial improvements (no, just putting your name on it and
changing to your packaging style of choice is _not_ substantial in my
eyes). Either way please follow the standard procedure as outlined on
<http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/> for taking over.
Until a new maintainer has been found I will continue to take care
just as before, of course...

Description: Text to HTML converter
 txt2html is a Perl program that converts plain text to HTML.
 .
 It supports headings, lists, simple character markup, and hyperlinking, and is
 highly customizable. It recognizes some of the apparent structure of the
 source document (mostly whitespace and typographic layout), and attempts to
 mark that structure explicitly using HTML.
 .
 The purpose for this tool is to provide an easier way of converting existing
 text documents to HTML format, giving something nicer than just whapping the
 text into a big PRE block. txt2html can also be used to aid in writing new
 HTML documents, but there are probably better ways of doing that.

 .
  * multi-line cells
  * support for embedded windows (one per cell)
  * row & column spanning
  * variable width columns / height rows (interactively resizable)
  * row and column titles
  * multiple data sources ((perl hash|| perl callback) &| internal caching)
  * supports standard Tk reliefs, fonts, colors, etc.
  * x/y scrollbar support
  * 'tag' styles per row, column or cell to change visual appearance
  * in-cell editing - returns value back to data source
  * support for disabled (read-only) tables or cells (via tags)
  * multiple selection modes, with "active" cell
  * multiple drawing modes to get optimal performance for larger tables
  * optional 'flashes' when things update
  * cell validation support
  * Works everywhere Tk does (including Windows and Mac!)
 (Note perltk version has only been tested on Solaris, Linux,
   win98/mingw32 as of 8/18/00)

 .
 This module allows easy sorting (via comparisons) of mixed text and numeric

 packages and shared library systems use. For an explanation of the
 algorithm, it's easiest to look at these examples:
 .
  1.1   <  1.2
  1.1a  <  1.2
  1.1   <  1.1.1
  1.1   <  1.1a
  1.1.a <  1.1a
  1 <  a
  a <  b
  1 <  2
 .
  (special handling for leading zeros)
  0002  <  1
  1.06  <  1.5
 .
  (a hyphen binds looser than a period)
  1-1 < 1-2
  1-2 < 1.2

 HTTP::Cache::Transparent is an implementation of HTTP GET that keeps a
 local cache of fetched pages to avoid fetching the same data from the
 server if it hasn't been updated. The cache is stored on disk and is
 thus persistent between invocations.
 .
 The http-headers If-Modified-Since and ETag are used to let the server
 decide if the version in the cache is up-to-date or not.  All
 http-requests are made through the LWP module. Data is stored on disk
 by the Storable module. Digest::MD5 is used for creating a hash of the
 URL.

Bug#344452: RFA: libemail-find-perl -- Perl module to find RFC 822 email addresses in arbitrary text

[Florian Ernst]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


IMVHO this package is in a pretty good shape, and I don't see any
particular tasks that really need to be done. However, for some reason
I'm not that fond of it and / or don't use it regularily anymore, so
as part of some restructuring on my side I'm willing to let this
package go and find a loving new maintainer for it.
NB: This package is quite easy to maintain and thus might be just the
right choice for any aspiring new maintainer trying to get his hands
wet.

If you have a sponsor (or don't need one) please just take over.
Otherwise I might be interested in sponsoring a new maintainer,
provided the changes a) show _no_ regressions and b) provide
substantial improvements (no, just putting your name on it and
changing to your packaging style of choice is _not_ substantial in my
eyes). Either way please follow the standard procedure as outlined on
<http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/> for taking over.
Until a new maintainer has been found I will continue to take care

FWIW, I packaged the most recent upstream version, following my
personal style, i.e. omitting cdbs. Files are at
<http://people.debian.org/~florian/libmusicbrainz-2.1/>.

Unfortunately there were some problems with the python bindings:
contrary to what the upstream changelog suggests they were not
included in the tarball, but those bindings currently only exist in
CVS. However, they don't give any hint on what their copyright and
redistribution terms might be; in previous releases there was at least
a COPYING file in the python directory, even if no further reference
was given inside the individual files, but now this one is missing,
too. Thus I'm a bit hesitant to just copy them over...

With respect to this new situation I'd prefer to omit the python
bindings completely, despite the pending removal of the bindings as
shipped with libmusicbrainz-2.0. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Flo

I guess this RFA actually refers to both libmusicbrainz-2.1 and
libmusicbrainz-2.0, as you are talking about "libmusicbrainz" only"?

If you want to adopt a package please retitle the corresponding

Opening a new report is neither necessary nor recommended.

However, please note that an update for php4-pear-log was already

As the new maintainer of xboard I'd love to also take phalanx.

If you don't mind I'll start working on an update this Sunday. Were
there any specific plans you had in mind for this package?

Hmm, I couldn't find this version, can you please tell me where to

As I actually use this plugin rather often I'd hate to see it go to

Bug#260740: Still interested in SExtractor?

Some comments on your packaging:

- the clean target in debian/rules depends on the config.status
  target? I see no reason for doing so, so I removed that dependancy,
  please see the attached interdiff for details
- the CFLAGS you set in debian/rules are not honoured by the program,
  so it will be compiled with upstream's standard compiler flags,
  including -O3 which is known to cause some issues with recent
  version of gcc (InternalCompilerErrors on m68k (now resolved), bad /
  faulty code on other archs). Still, -O3 seems to be the natural
  choice for a computational package like this, so you might want to
  test your luck...
- the doc-base entries weren't well adjusted, I changed them to fit
  reality again, please see the attached interdiff for details
- you might want to consider splitting off all architecture-independant
  documentation into a sextractor-doc package as more than half of all
  data isn't specific to any arch. However, the package as is isn't
  all too big to make this a must, though...


I've built the package after committing the changes mentioned in the
interdiff and put some files at
.
Please check whether those files are acceptable and if so then upload
the necessary parts into the Debian archives.

(I sooner or later tend to let my sponsees do the upload in order to
check whether they know how to do it properly. If there are problems
please don't hesitate to ask.)

Flo

Bug#260740: Still interested in SExtractor?

[Florian Ernst]

Hello there,

I just stumbled over this old bugreport...

Are you still interested in getting SExtractor into the Debian
archives again? The situation has improved somewhat as there were some
new upstream releases and the formerly conflicting package "sex" has
been dropped, thus removing the need for some name adjustments.

If you still want to maintain this just put together some packages (I
think it's safe to drop any reference to my short-lived and primitive
packaging from way back then), add me as an uploader and drop me a
mail.
(Although I could have sworn you made it through NM within the last
year. But I can't find your name in any of the NM lists...)

Cheers,
Flo

I request an adopter for the ht package, even though I just recently
adopted this package myself, see #300592.
My original intention back then was to start digging into the package
in order to learn more about executables, yet I quickly found I'm not
knowledgable enough at all to maintain it properly. Nonetheless I'm
going to try sorting out all the remaining issues right now, so please
get in contact with me before adopting this package.


The package description is:
 This program is a file viewer, editor and analyzer for text, binary,
 and (especially) executable files.  Please note that this is a beta
 version of the program.  Therefore HT is incomplete and sometimes
 buggy. Enjoy anyway...
 For more info (e.g. keybindings) see the README file!

I don't know of any alternatives in Debian, so perhaps just keep it in
the archives, even though the user base is quite small according to
popcon. After all it seems to serve a certain purpose, and apparently
it does so well enough, without the need for much maintenance.

I'm quite able to sponsor an upload, but whether I'll do it or not
will pretty much depend on the changes applied to the packaging,
especially as I believe there isn't much that really _needs_ to be
done. I personally dislike changes that are basically nothing but a
"It's mine!".
Furthermore I forgot to CC Ola in my RFA (see bugreport online). If he
