Bug#1113846: ITS: libchemistry-formula-perl

[Andreas Tille]

Source: libchemistry-formula-perl
Version: 3.0.1-1.3
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Carlo Segre <segre at debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>, 1111374 at bugs.debian.org

Hi,

I'm interested in salvaging the package libchemistry-formula-perl, in
accordance with the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the
Developers Reference[1].  This 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.
  - There are QA issues with the package.
 
I believe the package would be a great addition either to the Perl Group
or the DebiChem team. I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository
inside the Perl Group[2].  I'm actually keen on comments of other Perl
Group members since this package is not on CPAN and might be better in
Debichem.  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.
