Bug#1120041: ITS: libmodem-vgetty-perl

[Andreas Tille]

Source: libmodem-vgetty-perl
Version: 0.03-4
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Michael C. Schultheiss <schultmc at debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi Michael,

I would be interested in helping with libmodem-vgetty-perl, following
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
>From what I see, the package seems to meet the criteria for this
process, and I'd like to support keeping it maintained in Debian.  I
need to admit that this package does not really fulfill the ITS criteria
of NMUs, open bugs and lacking updates.  I simply found it on a list of
Perl packages that are not maintained by the Debian Perl Group and I'm
positively convinced that the package could profit from team
maintenance.  The Perl team has established automated means to do
team wide packaging changes.  So it could take some maintenance work
from your shoulders.

Thus 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.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
