[Pkg-monitoring-maintainers] Bug#964399: Should ganglia be removed?

[Marcos Fouces]

Hello Moritz

I did some work time ago on ganglia [1] but i never get this work
published due to unactive/unresponsive uploaders.

I also done some work on ganglia-web and ganglia-linux-modules packages
(also unpublished).

I believe that it is still a good piece of software that deserve its
place on Debian so i would like to step up as uploader (co-uploaders
welcome!) if needed.

I also would like to maintain it under pkg-security team umbrella.

Please, let me know your thoughs.

Greetings,
 
Marcos
