Dear stops maintainer (Hi Free Ekanayaka),

I was cleaning up packages that hasn't receive any upload in Debian for a long 
time and noticed that your package, stops, received no upload since 2007, 
which is quite a long period of time.

Making uploads to stops might be necessary according to [1] since we want to 
make Debian 100% reproducible in the future [2] and all packages built before 
December 2016 will need a rebuild. Meanwhile, It is unsure whether you are 
still actively maintaining this package and is willing to maintain it in the 
future after so many years. Besides, this package is using ancient packaging 
instructions (debhelper compat v5) and that needs refreshing.

As a result, I am wondering if you could make another upload for package stops 
recently, ideally before the Buster freeze. Since it hasn't receive any upload 
for 11 years, I am also considering initiating the MIA procedure[3] (targeting 
package only, not to the person because I know you look still active) if 
there's no reply after certain period of time (e.g., 60 days).

Thank you very much for your attention and understanding,
