Hi Dominic,
 
I would be interested in helping with libwiki-toolkit-plugin-ping-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:
 
  - NMU
  - Bug filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - There are QA issues with the package.
 
I believe the package would be a great addition to the Debian Perl
Group, and I took the liberty to create a fork of your private
repository here[2]. If you choose not to accept the ITS, its perfectly
fine if you simply take over the MR and upload the fixes inside the
package including the fix for the open bug.  My goal is to make it as
easy as possible for you to join the team.  Since every DD has access to
the perl-team group you can easily access the repository.
 
Kind regards
    Andreas.
