Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
After being in contact with Monty Taylor he aggreed that plywood
should be orphaned.
As Monty suggested, one should also think about complete removal.
So I will keep an eye on this package and if there will be no new maintainer
and popcon still low, I will request removal in 3 months from now.
Best regards,

Dear Monty Taylor,
How are you? I hope that you are fine.
All is quite well, thanks!
I was wondering about your packages python-drizzle and plywood, which
has a few important bugs pending and only being NMUed the last two
years. Also your other packages did not receive an upload the past
years.
Please let me know if you are still active, because your packages are
missing you. Please tell me a little bit about your plans regarding your
packages, what you are going to do and when you think you are going to
do so.
I have, in fact, lost interest in these packages. I was packaging them
because I was also upstream for them - and then I stopped working on
them as an upstream, so I stopped working on them as a packager too.
If you aren't interested in your packages anymore, just tell us as well
and we'll try to find new maintainers. In case your packages are
co-maintained, you may have lost interest in them so you (or we) can ask
not to be mentioned in maintainer fields.
Yes please - I think a new maintainer would be great. That said - both
are essentially abandoned upstream, so it might be worthwhile looking to
see if it makes sense for them to remain in debian at all.
Thank you for all your contributions and regards,
Thank you!
Monty
