Source: freespace2
Version: 3.7.4+repack-1.1 
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-CC: pkg-games-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org

Dear maintainer,

After looking at your freespace2 package [1], I found that this package
received no maintainer updates in the past 5 years and was not in good
shape. It has a FTBFS bug [2] and it was removed from testing
6 months ago.
As a result, I am filing an ITS (Intent to Salvage) request
against your package according to section 5.12 in Debian's Developers'
Reference [1].

My current plan to maintain the package under the umbrella of the
Debian Games Team, to package the latest upstream release, clean up
packaging and review/fix all Debian bug reports.
A MR has already been posted to Salsa [3]

Full disclosure: I will need a sponsor to upload the package in the
archive.

Please let me know whether you are still willing to maintain this
package. If you find it necessary to pause the ITS process,
please let me know immediately by replying this bug report.
