Bug#1125159: gnome-screenshot: unmaintained upstream; upstream repository is archived and read-only

[Jeremy Bícha]

Source: gnome-screenshot
Severity: important
Tags: upstream wontfix
User: pkg-gnome-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: unmaintained-upstream

GNOME has recently archived the gnome-screenshot project which means
that bug reports, bug fixes, and translation updates are no longer
accepted.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-screenshot

GNOME itself hasn't needed gnome-screenshot since GNOME 42. GNOME
Screenshot does not even work any more with GNOME 49:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/3760

There are multiple packaged screenshot apps for other desktops. Some highlights:
- flameshot
- mate-utils provides mate-screenshot. If needed, it could probably be
split into a separate binary package
- screengrab
- shutter
- xfce4-screenshooter

I'll file blocker bugs for reverse dependencies of gnome-screenshot.

Thank you,
Jeremy Bícha
