Source: pidgin-festival Version: 2.4-3.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: 765...@bugs.debian.org, 1045...@bugs.debian.org, Varun Hiremath <va...@debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salv...@tracker.debian.org>
Hi, I'm interested in salvaging your package pidgin-festival, 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: - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the maintainer. - There are QA issues with the package. I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian/ team since I found a lot of other pidgin-* packages there. I took the liberty 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, 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.
