Package: src:pycra
Severity: serious

Dear maintainer,

pycra seems to be unmaintained with the last upload 10 (!) years ago,
despite it has several bugs reported against it. Additionally, upstream
disappeared and there seems to be better alternatives available.

In https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600782#28 the
upstream author indicates 2010 that "At the moment I'm not even using
pyCA myself anymore.", indicating the dead-upstream thing. (the
reference in the mail is no longer there, the domain has been grabbed
by some domain grabber and now has advertisiment for gambling)

There are no r-depends on the pacakge and popcon is low.

This makes me wonder if we should retire this package.

If you don't think so, just close this bug.

If you also think so, just reassign it to the ftp.debian.org pseudo
package.

If there is no answer, I will reassing the bug in exactly 3 months.

Thanks!

tobi
