[Pkg-xmpp-devel] XMPP Bug Squashing

Hello all,

small text from junior-doc.

1) Does somebody needs help on BTS?

If you need help on "How to use the Debian Bug Tracking System",
let me know. We can setup a video call or have a chat to talk
about the most important workflows.

2) Let's divide the workload to different people

Are there volunteers how will take care of one / some packages?
I will take care of profanity, because I have contributed to the
upstream project and using it. Also xmppc.

3) More information needed

There are 7 bugs with 'More information needed'. What shall we
do, when there is no feedback? Do we need a process how we should
handel bugs a) without feedback b) too old c) won't be fixed by
upstream.

I think it's not a good idea to keep them all open.
