Hello team,
I didn't CC the team properly when I issued the ITS, so I forward the
email manually now, sorry.
Anyone up for a review of this package named 'cadaver'?
The short story is that cadaver is an old command-line program that
didn't see a change since 2009 at least.
The package doesn't use autoreconf / autogen.sh, I didn't went as far as
trying to fix it. Also I didn't rewrite d/copyright to be
machine-readable, but I'm OK to do it... if anyone is willing to review
such a change ;)
In any case, I believe we have to wait a bit before uploading the
package, as it's a salvaging operation. 21 days at least per [1].
Cheers,
Arnaud

Dear Maintainer,
Cadaver has been removed from Debian testing lately. It depends on
dpatch, which is being removed from Debian [1]. It also depends on
obsolete version of debhelper that will be removed in Debian bookworm
[2].
I plan to adopt and maintain this package within the pkg-security team.
I already updated all the packaging files and created the Git repository
on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/cadaver
Thanks
Arnaud
