Dear Maintainer, salut piem, long time no see. 'kluppe' has seen little love from you in the last 9 years (like your other packages). while it is true, that kluppe development has not been very active, there have been a number of NMUs, so 'kluppe' can still be shipped with Debian/trixie (most work has been done by Hugh) incidentally, there has also been a new upstream release a few months ago. i would like us to face reality, and put the package officially under co-maintainership. while i do not have a direct need myself for this package, it fits well into my "portfolio" (multimedia stuff, python stuff), and i think i have the spare cycles to keep the package in good shape. i hereby suggest to salvage 'kluppe' by multimedia-team, following the ITS procedure as outlined at [1]. as with other packages that you originally maintained and that i gradually took over (puredata, gem, pdp), i suggest to keep you as co-maintainer, if you want to. i would also like to invite hugh (CCed) to become a proper co-maintainer (as it seems that he does have some interest in the package). the packaging repository would move to <https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/kluppe>. i'm also CCing the MIA team, as i haven't heard from you in a very long time (and it seems your last contribution to Debian was more than 5 years ago). i do hope your are doing well. mgfsard IOhannes [1] <https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.en.html#package-salvaging>
