Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Hi,
I'm the maintainer of the wwwstat package - a Perl tool for analyzing webserver logfiles and creating summary HTML pages. When I was nearly done with an update that refreshed the Debian packaging of wwwstat (https://gitlab.com/wwwstat/wwwstat-pkg/commits/master), I actually stopped to think what I was doing and realized that there is no real need for this. The upstream webpages and download location for wwwstat have disappeared, there are no traces of the tool being actively maintained anywhere else, and I don't think that anyone is actually using it - there have been much better logfile analysis tools for ages. Of course, with a dead upstream, there was always the option for me to take over this, too, as I've done with ethstats, hexer, libdebug, prips, and tina, but in this case I don't think it's worth it. Well, if it suddenly turns out that somebody on the FTP Master team is actually using wwwstat, I would be greatly surprised and might be willing to take over upstream maintenance :) So, yeah, thanks for reading this far, I guess, and please remove wwwstat from unstable.
