Some scientific packages are looking for new maintainers

[Anton Gladky]

Dear all,

as I noted earlier [1], some packages are now out of my interests and I
have removed myself from Uploaders of those packages.

Unfortunately, in most of them I was the only maintainer, it means that
the packages are semi-orphaned now. There is a list of such packages and
if somebody wants to take some of them over, feel free to do it. Also do
not hesitate to contact me if you have some questions regarding those
packages.

====================
arpack++ - Object-oriented version of the ARPACK package
freemat - mathematics framework (mostly matlab compatible)
openfoam - Set of programs for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
palabos - CFD solver based on the lattice Boltzmann method
paraview - Parallel Visualization Application
pycollada - Python module for creating, editing and loading COLLADA
pygts - Python wrapper for the GNU Triangulated Surface library (GTS)
pysparse - Sparse linear algebra extension for Python (Adam is in
Uploaders list, but he is not active any more)
pysph - framework for Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics
sfepy - Simple Finite Elements in Python
spooles - SParse Object Oriented Linear Equations Solver
soqt - Qt4 GUI component toolkit for Inventor
ovito - visualization and analysis tool for atomistic simulation data
viennacl - Scientific computing library written in C++ based on OpenCL
====================

All packages are in a good shape without RC-bugs. Most of existing bugs
should just be forwarded to upstream.

If I do not find somebody who will take care of them till the end of
August 2018, RFAs bugs will be filed against those packages.

I will reduce my work in Debian Science Team, but will continue to
sponsor packages, fix RC-bugs and do some general work.
