If not we could:
a) move it to unsupported as we already have several ftp servers in
extra
b) I would be willing to continue to maintain it but I'll need someone
else to build/test/upload the x86_64 package as I can't test it.
c) this is the more cumbersome. I could continue to maintain and build
for
both arches but every update will go to testing first for signoffs.
Another option might be to release it to community (or maybe that is
what you meant by unsupported). Maybe one of the TUs would want to
take it over.
Yes, I meant removing it from extra so it'll go to eitherunsupported or
community if a TU is interested.
Speaking on behalf of myself, I think it would be smart if we started
shedding some packages from extra that we don't really use- we
shouldn't feel obliged to maintain them just because someone else put
them there and stuck us with them. Package maintenance can be a real
bore if you aren't even interested in the package you are working on.
So phrased shortly- if you don't use it and other devs don't have
interest, throw it to unsupported where it may or may not get picked
up by a TU.

Yeah, I have a tendency of maintaining too much packages and having
problems of letting them go. Anyhow, I've orphaned proftpd and above
options b) and c) are no longer available.
