[Python-modules-team] Bug#912307: elementtidy: Will package maintenance be continued?

Dear elementtidy maintainers,

I found that elementtidy hasn't seen any maintainer upload since 2008
(!) and there's no team upload since 2015. It seems that upstream
development stalled since 2005 too. Package python-elementtidy is
python2-only and it also has no reverse dependencies. The popcon is
also dropping.

As a result, I'm wondering if it's still worthwhile to keep elementtidy
in Debian archive anymore. Specifically I'd like to hear from the
package uploader (Torsten Marek) for your idea. If we are to keep it in
Debian Buster, I'm also wondering if it's okay for me to make a NMU
before Buster freeze to clean up legacy packaging instructions and
migrate VCS repo onto Salsa. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Boyuan yang
