[pkg-gnupg-maint] Retiring from the gnupg-pkg-team

[Christoph Biedl]

[ First attempt was just garbage. ]

Hi,

better keep it short: I don't see my future in the maintaining work for
GnuPG and related packages, so I'd better move on before it becomes
mostly a burden. I've removed myself from the Uploaders: list where
applicable (gnupg2 and libgpg-error).

There are some tasks open, with priority in decreasing order:

The fixes for #982546 and #993578, both part of 2.2.27-3, should be
brought to bullseye via a stable point release. That's fairly trivial.

Moving forward to 2.2.33 has an obstacle in the keyserver area, requires
little work.

Switching to 2.3 might happen some day but is fairly difficult; the
instrusive patches need major rework, and there was some fallout from
other packages, failing autopkgtest and the like - which is why I had
the one upload removed from experimental. It was on my list of things to
discuss whether this would be achievable for bookworm at all.

All the best,

    Christoph
