Dear Maintainer,

I suggest removing w3cam from Debian for the following reasons:

 * It accumulated one RC-bug:
   + #1091279: w3cam: FTBFS on armhf: cgi.c:96:21: error: passing argument 1 of 
‘gmtime’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
     Last modified: 9 months
 * It is not part of trixie and is not a key package.
 * popcon inst=15 (vote=1)
   https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=w3cam
 * There seems to be no active maintainer

This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be
reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.

In case the package should be kept in unstable, please evaluate each of the
RC-bugs listed above.
 * If the bug no longer applies, please close it. If it is closed, check
   whether the fixed version is correct and adjust if necessary.

 * Is the bug really release-critical? If not, please downgrade.

 * If the bug still applies, please send a status update at least once a year.

Once all of the mentioned RC bugs have been acted upon in one way or another,
please close this bug.

In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this
bug report:

    Control: severity -1 normal
    Control: retitle -1 RM: w3cam -- RoM; rc-buggy
    Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
    Control: affects -1 + src:w3cam

Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.

In case you disagree with the above, please add a wontfix tag to this bug.

    Control: tags -1 + wontfix

Doing so will also prevent automatic reassignment.

This 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 help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.

Best,
