Bug#1106700: ITS: xevil

[Andreas Tille]

Source: xevil
Version: 2.02r2-10.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 738062 at bugs.debian.org, 742968 at bugs.debian.org, 1010181 at bugs.debian.org, Debian Games Team <pkg-games-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Brandon Barnes <winterknight at nerdshack.com>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi,
 
I'm interested in salvaging your package xevil, 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 (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.
 
I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Games
team, 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.
 
PS: I do not plan to upload a salvaged package before the Trixie
    release to not influenze the freeze process.
