No I do not currently use libview. The debian manual suggests that new members
adopt orphaned packages in order to become a debian maintainer. I have been
porting packages that are not working with RISC-V and adopting them if they are
orphaned. Since I saw libview was orphaned in addition to not building with
RISC-V, I thought I should also adopt the package.

If it is best for debian that libview remains as a debian package, then I would
like to be the maintainer since I would have the most recent packaging updates.

Ilena, I do not think it is a good idea to keep a package alive when nobody
(including the
prospective maintainer) uses it. I am going to request a removal.
