Package: wnpp Severity: normal
Denis V. Sirotkin, the maintainer of polipo, has not been active in Debian for nearly two years. I am therefore orphaning polipo now. Polipo recently had some security issues that need to be fixed. As a network daemon it needs an active maintainer. Polipo has recently been taken over by a new upstream, who seems quite responsive. I don't know when he plans to make a new release, though. If you want to be the new maintainer, please take it -- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly. Personally, I have some interest in polipo and could help a new maintainer, as sponsor or possibly as co-maintainer (but the new maintainer should be prepared to do the larger part of the work). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
