Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the sysvinit package.

Although it is team-maintained, I have found that none of the listed
uploaders are still active:

- Petter Reinholdtsen says he has retired from maintenance
- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh has not committed for over 6 years
- Kel Modderman has not committed for over 3 years
- Roger Leigh is retired from Debian
- Thomas Goirand says he 'never really was' a maintainer

Ben.

The package description is:
 This package contains programs required for booting
 a Debian system and doing basic process management.
 .
 The most important program in the package is /sbin/init.
 It is the first process started on boot and continues
 to run as process number 1 until the system halts. All
 other processes are descended from it.
