Reopened bug 1013230 and not closing 1088784 but setting it to severity normal since it should not be RC. > I am not currently intending to upload qqwing myself, because it > currently has no Uploaders listed, which means that next time it is > uploaded, either a games team member (possibly Andreas) needs to take > responsibility for it by adding themselves to Uploaders, or the package > needs to be orphaned again. Orphan "again" is not the right word. It was "silently" orphaned. I'm fine with doing some QA-upload but the initial upload to Games team at least made it available on Salsa. I hope someone will pick up from here. I do not intend to put my name to Uploaders - just removed the former maintainer since the address was bouncing. Kind regards Andreas. -- https://fam-tille.de
