[Python-apps-team] Bug#947339: slingshot: should this package be removed?

[Sandro Tosi]

Source: slingshot
Severity: serious

Hello,
iI think there are several issues with slingshot:

- python2-only package
- upstream dormant since 8+ years
- no updates on https://github.com/ryanakca/slingshot/issues/9 since Aug 9

if I dont hear back within a week with a good reason to keep this package in
debian, i'll file for its removal.

Regards,
Sandro
