Hi, TL;DR I am looking for prospective courier-mta maintainers for Courier MTA packages.
a little history - Mark Constable asked me a while ago if I could prepare updated Courier MTA packages for Ubuntu PPA. As a part of that I whipped the courier-authlib, courier-unicode and courier packages up to modern Debian packages standard and did some more improvements to the packaging (as privilege separation on separate 'courier' user). I also merged non-TLS and TLS versions and did some more changes (most of it could be found in debian/changelog and/or in git log). I did my best to break as little things as possible, but the changes to the packages were massive. There's one problem though - I am not active Courier MTA user, so I can do my best from Debian point of view, but I am unable to do any extensive testing. Therefore I am looking for active Courier MTA users that happen to be either Debian Developers, Debian Maintainers, or just people that would be happy to learn the Debian Packaging - I would be more than happy to provide guidance in such case. I have filled RFH (Request for Help) bug on courier package, but nobody responded so far. Today I have changed that to RFA (Request for Adoption) and I intend to properly orphan the packages before stretch release and remove them from next Debian stable release. Well, unless somebody comes up and makes a hard promise to take care of all Courier MTA till Debian stretch (next stable) end-of-life and becomes maintainers. Please note that the bug list on src:courier is rather long: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?repeatmerged=no&src=courier (143 filled bugs) and it will need some time to comb through the list, close the non-issues, fix the Debian related bugs and forward the appropriate bugs to upstream. I would suggest it might be better this would be a team effort.
