Bug#1107398: ITS: libimager-qrcode-perl

[Andreas Tille]

Source: libimager-qrcode-perl
Version: 0.033-1.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Kai Wasserbäch <curan at debian.org>, 1081795 at bugs.debian.org, 1102848 at bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi,
 
I'm interested in salvaging your package libimager-qrcode-perl, in
accordance with the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the
Developers Reference[1].  Your package meets the criteria for this
process, and I would love to assist in preserving and maintaining it. As
the Salvage process suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply,
in my opinion:
 
  - NMUs (more than one NMU in a row).
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - Upstream has released several versions, but despite there being
    a bug entry asking for it, it has not been packaged.
  - There are QA issues with the package.
 
I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Perl
group, and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If
you choose not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you
move it to another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My
goal is to make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd
also be delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could
share your Salsa login.
 
Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.
 
Kind regards
    Andreas.
 
PS: I do not plan to upload a salvaged package before the Trixie
    release to not influenze the freeze process.
