control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org control: retitle -1 RM: shadowsocks -- removal triggered by the Python2 removal
I think this package should been removed from debian. It's dead in the upstream, the last commit there was in Dec 2018, and none of commits/issues ever talked about python3 upgrading. Currently its popcon is 149, but all of its users could immigrate to shadowsocks-libev with no pain. Please remove it from Debian. Thank you for your generous help in the past three years, and thank you for your contribution in python2 clean up job.
