Hi I'm interested in salvaging your package xjump, in accordance with the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion: - NMUs, especially if there has been more than one NMU in a row. - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the maintainer. - Upstream has released several versions, but despite there being a bug entry asking for it, it has not been packaged. - There are QA issues with the package. I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Games team, and I'm planning to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If you choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it to another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd also be delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could share your Salsa login. Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a consistent Git-based workflow. Kind regards Andreas.
