Hello there,

how come no developer with networking knowledge above
the average is willing to sponsor this adoption?

The package is orphaned, the upstream author is infamous
for ignoring a handful of network source packages, so there
is no hope of him ever repairing this seriously broken
software. The network code renovations that I personally
have contributed to Debian should be convincing enough
that I am capable of maintaining 'micro-inetd', all the
more so since #354778 has not been attended to in five
years time.

In wonder and surprise,
