[Qa-debsources] O: debmirror -- package is now orphaned

Package: debmirror
Version: 1:2.18+nmu1
Severity: normal

Regrettably, I seem to have become a barrier to the
timely maintenance of debmirror. For the other two
packages I maintain, this would be less important,
because few use those packages and because I doubt that
anyone else would adopt them. Those other packages can
wait for me to fix their bugs.

This package is more important. It cannot wait. At the
moment, I lack sufficient time to keep atop this
package's bugs. Let me step aside.

Debmirror is now orphaned. If no one ever adopts it, it
is not impossible that I may again adopt it, myself,
since I have learned some things regarding the package's
internals, but it would be better if another competent
person took the package over.

I believe that the work I have done on the package will
make maintenance at least a little easier for the next
maintainer.

I can still answer questions regarding the package. For
a prompt response, I can be reached at thaddeus.h.black
at gmail.com or +1 540 921 1759 (8 a.m. to 8 p.m. U.S.
Eastern Time.)

Thanks for the helpful bug reports. My best wishes go to
the next maintainer.
