Bug#1094887: balsa: Remove from Debian?

[Jeremy Bícha]

Source: balsa
Version: 2.6.4-3
Severity: serious
X-Debbugs-CC: dkg at debian.org

I think we should remove balsa from Debian. I believe it's not used by
members of the Debian GNOME team (who are the maintainer for old
historical reasons) so there aren't any uploaders who are verifying
that the app works.

I am concerned by the recent bug reports from one user:
https://bugs.debian.org/1093651
https://bugs.debian.org/1094681

balsa has a very old Request for Help bug:
https://bugs.debian.org/642906

balsa is currently not in Testing but that's not really balsa's fault.

Daniel Gillmor did some packaging work in 2020-2021 but then didn't
reply to my comment on the RFH bug in 2022 or contributed to the
packaging since. So I'm using this bug to check in with Daniel if he
is still using balsa and can verify that it works or if he instead is
comfortable with balsa being removed from Debian.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
