Hi, I am not sure upstream have completely lost interest. There was a release last year and a commit this year. OTOH, I saw no statement about moving away from Google Code hosting which they would have to do soonish, and there are definitely more new issues than recent commits. It is also a good point about the number of alternatives. I have noticed that whilst updating the multimedia-blends tasks [1]. Maybe over the Stretch cycle we could use the blend pages to help weed out the less popular and duplicate/overlapping or older/under maintained packages. For a start I could demote some of them to "lower relevance" instead of "high relevance" so they appear lower on the web pages. But for now, I would be happy to add myself to Uploaders and keep an eye on things for a bit longer. Cheers, Ross [1] http://blends.debian.org/multimedia/tasks/index
