I'm still willing to maintain the tfortune and lopsub code, i.e. everything
except the debian/ directories, and I'm happy to work on features and bugs
that affect *users* of both packages. It's just that I won't spend time on
the Debian maintenance any more, including RFS, uploads, CI, lintian, salsa
and all that. My attempt to get familiar with these workflows was both time
consuming and fruitless, and I won't continue this frustrating experience.

No reason to be sorry, it's not your fault.

I've resurrected the tfortune web page and re-enabled the git repo, so feel
free to do whatever it takes to make the bots happy. But please keep me out
of the loop unless the code itself needs to be changed.

Thanks
Andre
