Source: ruby-mime
Version: 0.4.4-2
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Debian Ruby Team <pkg-ruby-extras-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>, Marc Bigler <marc at towards.ch>, 1080205 at bugs.debian.org, Package Salvaging Team <team+salvage at tracker.debian.org>

Hi Marc,

I would be interested in helping with ruby-mime, 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:

  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - Package was once team maintained by Ruby team and there where
    some commits in Git on Salsa that diverged from uploads
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe it would be sensible to re-integrate the package into the
Ruby Team, and I took the liberty to update the Salsa repository here[2]
and applied changes done there to your uploaded change (if applicable).
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.
