Bug#1120118: ITS: msva-perl

[Andreas Tille]

Source: msva-perl
Version: 0.9.2-1.1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 1118391 at bugs.debian.org, 1115632 at bugs.debian.org, Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Daniel Kahn Gillmor <dkg at fifthhorseman.net>, Micah Anderson <micah at debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi,

I would be interested in helping with msva-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. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that I believe apply:

  - Bugs filed against the package the later ones without answer
  - Homepage / Git repository moved without notice
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe the package would be a great addition to the Perl team, 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.

This 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 help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
