Bug#1122249: ITS: bomberclone

[Andreas Tille]

Source: bomberclone
Version: 0.11.9-7.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Games Team <pkg-games-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Peter Spiess-Knafl <dev at spiessknafl.at>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi Peter,

I would be interested in helping with bomberclone, following the Package
Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. From what I
see, the package seems to meet the criteria for this process, and I'd
like to support keeping it maintained in Debian. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that I believe apply:

  - NMUs (more than one NMU in a row).
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - There are QA issues with the package.

The package used to be maintained on Alioth inside collab-maint team.
This means you are most probably open for migrating the package to
Salsa.  I believe the package would be a great addition to the Debian
Games team, and I migrated the Alioth Git repository into this team[2].
In addition it contains the NMUs since your last upload as well as some
packaging modernisations I did.  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.

This 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 help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
