Bug#1137281: ITS: libcatalyst-view-excel-template-plus-perl

[Andreas Tille]

Source: libcatalyst-view-excel-template-plus-perl
Version: 0.3-2.2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: 1135073 at bugs.debian.org, Debian Perl Group <pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Alexander Wirt <formorer at debian.org>, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi Alexander,

I would be interested in helping with
libcatalyst-view-excel-template-plus-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.
  - Upstream has released a new version that has not been packaged.
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe the package would be a nice addition to the Perl Group, 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.  As a Debian
Developer you have full permissions to any repository inside the
perl-team space.

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.
