Bug#1092952: sat4j: Maintainance of sat4j in Debian Science team (ITS-like)

[Andreas Tille]

Source: sat4j
Version: 2.3.5-0.3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Science Maintainers <debian-science-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Michael Tautschnig <mt at debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi Michael,

I was not able to fix the only outstanding bug insite sat4j (and I have
not checked the latest upstream version whether this might solve the
issue.)  I'm interested in moving sat4j to the Debian Science team Git
repository.  I would like to follow the Package Salvaging procedure
outlined in the Developers Reference[1].  Your package meets the
criteria for this process, and I would love to assist in preserving and
maintaining it. As the Salvage process suggests, here is a list of the
criteria that apply, in my opinion:

  - NMUs (more than one NMU in a row).
  - Upstream has released several a new version (no open bug for this yet) 
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Science,
and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If you
choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it
to another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My goal is
to make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd also be
delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could share
your Salsa login.

Your 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 familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
