Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:ssh-askpass

I request an adopter for the ssh-askpass package.

I stopped using this a while ago, so it's time to give it away.

Jim Knoble no longer develops it, so while there are very few bugs, fixing those
that exist is only likely to happen if the maintainer does it, or if they choose
to settle on the versions that exist in e.g. OpenBSD and adopt that as upstream.

Last time I looked that didn't seem to be a win, and I've not had time to look
at fixing even the trivial bug about placement, which really confirma that
someone else should be looking after this.

The package description is:
 This is Jim Knoble's implementation of the ssh-askpass program, originally
 called x11-ssh-askpass upstream.  It is built on low-level X11 libraries,
 and therefore has minimal dependencies.
 .
 Other ssh-askpass programs are available, some of which may integrate
 better into various desktop environments.
