Stepping down from Debian rakudo packaging team

[Dominique Dumont]

Hello

After 10 years of maintaining rakudo and it modules for Debian, I've never 
really managed to learn Raku. 

Now, my work life has changed, I'm now a devops freelance and I no longer have 
the time and energy to maintain packages that I don't actually use. So I'm 
stepping down from Debian Rakudo packaging team.

This last weeks I've tried to leave this project with packages in a good 
shape. I've fixed some bugs in dh-raku [1] and dh-make-raku [2] and updated 
some Raku modules (to debug dh-make-raku)

dh-make-raku is usable to create or update rakudo module packages.

If needed, I will help with the maintenance of dh-raku and dh-make-raku.

Unfortunately, I've encountered yet another problem with raku precompilation 
of raku-json-class. This is explained in a patch [3] I've tried on rakudo. But 
this patch is not enough. There's another mysterious precompilation error.

I guess this problem should be discussed by my successor with upstream at this 
github issue: https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5099 

All the best

Dod
