Hi Andreas, Thank you for this note!

your package bfm came up as a candidate for the Bug of the Day[1] and so
I had a look into this package. The Bug of the Day project intends to
demonstrate newcomers how bugs can be closed and in principle bfm would
be a good target with a bug tagged patch. However, before doing so I'd
like to hear your opinion whether working on this package is
sustainable. Bug #967271 "depends on deprecated GTK 2" might mean that
we can't keep this package in Debian in the long run. So first I want
to know whether you are happy if we:
1. Move the package to https://salsa.debian.org/debian/bfm
2. Fix the bugs in CC to this mail
3. Upgrade the packaging to latest packaging standards
(debhelper compat level, Standards-Version, lintian-brush)
If you are happy about this and consider it helpful for the next couple
of years please let me know and I would NMU the result of this work or
leave it for your inspection to do a maintainer upload. Otherwise I
could consider filing a RoM bug report to remove the package from
Debian.
Yes, I would be happy to participate and either have changes made as an NMU or to have them uploaded as patches for you to review and upload.
Best, Mika
