Bug#1082755: ITS: crimson

[Andreas Tille]

Source: crimson
Version: 0.5.2-1.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: 743582bugs.debian.org, Uwe Hermann <uwe at debian.org>, Debian Games Team <pkg-games-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi

I'm interested in salvaging your package crimson, in accordance with 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
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - Upstream has released several versions, but despite there being
    a bug entry asking for it, it has not been packaged.
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Games
team, and I'm planning 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.
