Package: gnome-system-log
Version: 3.9.90-5
Severity: important
Tags: upstream wontfix
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal

gnome-system-log was most recently released in 2013:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-system-log/commit/7826231006884c5dcfafd40f3b68d57b4df858da
and was marked as deprecated in 2014:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-system-log/commit/14941e17e06a7f1c45dbd5b7c9d6f4110117f14b

It used to be part of a default GNOME desktop, but was removed from the
metapackage before stretch:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/831092/accepted-meta-gnome3-13203-source-into-unstable/
and as a result its popcon score is rapidly declining.

Is it time to consider removing this package from testing/unstable?
