Bug#1132521: ITS: libcatalyst-view-gd-perl

[Andreas Tille]

Source: libcatalyst-view-gd-perl
Version: 0.1-1.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 1126361 at bugs.debian.org, Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi Alexander,

I would be interested in helping with libcatalyst-view-gd-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:

  - 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 to the Debian Perl
Group, and I took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. 
I know you are perfectly active in Debian but I'd happily take this
package which fits nicely into the Perl group from your shoulders.

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.
