Source: black-box
Version: 1.4.8-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Games Team <pkg-games-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Adrian Bunk <bunk at debian.org>, 1090346 at bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi Adrian,

I'm interested in salvaging your package black-box, in accordance with
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
I confirm the package does not really fit the criteria for salvaging
some package since it was not NMUed and the open bugs (except the one
about maintaining the package in Debian Games team) are hard to fix
downstream while upstream seems to be inactive since a long time.

I completely respect your preference for how you wish to manage your
package. I believe, however, that your package would be a great addition
to the Debian Games team, and I've taken the initiative to create a
Salsa repository [2] for it. As per the ITS procedure, I'd be happy to
add my ID to the Uploaders field if you're comfortable with that. If,
however, you would prefer not to maintain your package collaboratively
in Salsa, please let me know, and I'll gladly close this bug report and
mark #1090346 as wont-fix, clearly indicating your preference.

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 - and BTW, I appreciate all your QA work in Debian
    Andreas.
