Package: bookletimposer Version: 0.2-5 Severity: serious X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
bookletimposer has de facto been abandoned upstream: last upstream commits I can see are 4+ years old, I'm not aware of any _working_ upstream Git repo, no reply from the author on some forwarded bugs and patches since 2-3 years, and we're now carrying a patch for #763974 since upstream never addressed it on their side. In the current state of things I'm not comfortable with the perspective of maintaining bookletimposer for 3-5 years in the next Debian stable release: this would simply put too much responsibility on my shoulders, and I don't want to slowly become upstream for one more project. Hence this RC bug to get it auto-removed from testing, and block the migration of future uploads to testing, until the situation changes. I'm happy to keep it in sid for a few more years though, and I'd love to change my mind regarding suitability for a stable release, whenever the situation evolves :) Cheers!
