Package: sputnik
Version: 12.06.27-2

Sputnik's main developer announced that the program was officially abandoned on May 24, 2014, and has not been maintained upstream since its last release in 2012.

This is mentioned on Sputnik's homepage (http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/), Sputnik's news feed (http://sputnik.freewisdom.org/en/Timeline), and on Sputnik's GitHub account (https://github.com/yuri/sputnik).  All Sputnik forks on GitHub are also abandoned.

Given that Sputnik is a web-facing CMS, its being abandoned for several years creates a security risk for users.  Unless Sputnik is again actively developed, it should be removed from the repos.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 9.1, kernel 4.12.0-0.bpo.1-amd64, and libc6 2.24-11+deb9u1, but this issue affects Debian users from Wheezy to Sid.
