Sure I can. Here I am, open for your questions.

As you may have noticed, Sébastien Villemot joined my efforts to 
maintain the Gnucash package in Debian. But, given the high bug count, I 
would welcome some more volunteers in the team.


To get familiar with the package you may want to work on the open bug 
reports. A lot of old bugs are still hanging around in the BTS, some of 
them without being triaged yet. So, if you want to, you can start right 
away to dig into the open bugs and see how to get rid of them. I guess 
there are plenty of them that have been reported long time ago, and that 
are likely fixed meanwhile. But this needs to be triaged first. Just add 
a comment to a bug if you have any new information.


If you have any further questions regarding the packaging details or how 
to proceed with a certain issue, just drop me or Sébastien a line and we 
will see how we can help you to join our efforts.


I am looking forward to jointly improve Gnucash in Debian.

Best regards,
Micha

Bug#639584: RFA: gnucash -- A personal finance and money tracking program

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request an adopter for the gnucash package in Debian.

The package description is:
 Gnucash can track finances in multiple accounts, keeping running
 and reconciled balances. It has an X based graphical user interface,
 double entry, a hierarchy of accounts, expense accounts (categories),
 and can import Quicken QIF files and OFX files.

Reason:
 Due to some real life changes I don't need to do any financial
 accounting anymore at a level that is offered by Gnucash. This means
 that I am no longer an active user of Gnucash, which made me feel
 more and more annoyed to maintain Gnucash, which is a pity.

State of the package:
 Since I took over responsibility for Gnucash back in 2009, I worked
 hard to get the packaging in a maintainable state by leveraging the
 power of Debhelper using 'dh' style debian/rules file. Next I started
 to get the number of bugs down. A lot of old bugs are still hanging
 around in the BTS, some of them without being triaged yet. At least
 I managed to stop the rising trend of the bug count, but with yet
 73 open bugs there is still some work ahead...

Upstream state:
 In the recent years the upstream developers released several new
 versions, all with substantial bug fixes and other improvements that
 prove that the project healthy and alive. It has always been a
 pleasure to communicate with them. Bugfixes have always been welcome.

If you are interested in adopting maintenance for the gnucash package,
please drop me a line. I will then happily help you to get familiar with
the package and to get in touch with the friendly upstream developers. I
will stay around for a while and will help where needed, but I
definitely intend to hand the maintenance of the gnucash package over to
someone else.

Best Regards,
Micha
