Source: gaviotatb
Version: 0.4-2.2
Severity: important

Hi Varun,

I would be interested in helping with gaviotatb, 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).
  - Repository was not moved from Alioth to Salsa
  - Upstream has released several versions
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe the package would be a great addition to the Games team. I
migrated your repository from Alioth to Salsa here[2].

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.
