FWIW nobody contacted me regarding this service. So I do not see how I can be considered "unresponsive" and not "responding to calls for help". To the best of my knowledge I have not received any email regarding planned downtime (or the need for migration of this service). I'm unable to find any such notice in my mailbox, and neither I see a note in debian-services-admin (the list where services' administrators have to monitor for such issues) or in debian-project. Had I received either advance warning or warning post-incident I would have taken action. I'm surprised by DSA's response here. Should I have found out about the downtime myself? I don't have a monitoring system in place to warn me when this service is unavailable (I actually asked DSA about this last year), and I don't use it myself every day. Consequently, it is unlikely I will know it's down unless somebody notifies me. The first notice I have received is via these emails (sent by users) to the debian-doc mailing list. > Are you still interested in maintaining this service? Yes, I am. I gave invested quite some time on the service and want to keep it running for our users. Could someone tell me in which DSA-managed host should I setup this new service? I will need not only shell access (which I assume is readily available for DDs), I will also need to change the web server's configuration (so access to the configuration files + rights to restart it would be fine, but a point of contact is good enough too). > Is anyone else on the debian-doc list interested in helping provide > web-accessible manual pages for Debian users? As you pointed out, setting up a replica of this service should be easy (I tried to document all the setup in the debian-doc repo and the code is fully up-to-date). Some of the steps might not be obvious, but the setup is easily repeatable in another host. Anyway, if I get pointed to where should I move the service too I will try to get the service running (DNS change + software installation and configuration) through this week.
