Hi Marcin,
today the package potool came up as a candidate for the Bug of the Day
effort[1].
There has not been an upstream release for quite some time (thus
upstream has not given much reason for an upload) and the bug that
came up is rather minor:
make --shuffle=reverse: po-gram.lex:19:10: fatal error: po.tab.h: No such
file or directory
This is not really visible to users. The third criterion for the bug of
the day selection is that the package repository is not maintained on
Salsa.
As you may have noticed, I have spent quite some effort over the last
two years helping migrate packages to our common collaboration platform,
Salsa. I believe having a shared Debian-hosted forge lowers the entry
barrier for newcomers, since contributors only need a single account
instead of subscribing to various external forges.
I also noticed quite a few commits from Janitor in your GitHub
repository and I think while possible this is more transparent on
Salsa.
For these reasons, I would be very happy if you would consider migrating
the repository of this package to Salsa.
What do you think? If you agree I'd happily do the migration - most
probably to the Debian team - fix the bug and do a NMU of this package
as another tiny task where newcomers might get an idea how to fix bugs
in a consistent way in Debian.
Kind regards
Andreas.
