Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the createrepo package.

The package is implemented in Python and is part of the rpm / yum
package software stack. This package will ideally be maintained within
the Debian RPM packaging team [1][2][3].

The team is cc'ed on this RFA, any team members interested in adopting?

The package description is:
 The createrepo tool generates the repodata directory and XML metadata that
 makes up a repository of RPM packages. This repository format is supported
 by apt-rpm, red-carpet(zen), smartpm, up2date, yast, and yum.
 .
 This package is similar to the apt-ftparchive or reprepro commands, but for
 working with RPM repositories.

Although the package has not been updated in several years, there are no
open bug reports, and there is only one patch-level upstream release
that has not been imported yet. The packaging git repository is up to
date and has been migrated to salsa at
