Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the xombrero package.

The main issues in Xombrero (xxxterm in the past):

1. Xombrero is an old software but has some bad behaviors, never solved by
   upstream.
2. Xombrero has lots of bugs.
3. The upstream is some times unresponsive.

The package description is:
 xombrero is a minimalist web browser with sophisticated security features
 designed-in, rather than through an add-on after-the-fact. In particular,
 it provides both persistent and per-session controls for scripts and cookies,
 making it easy to thwart tracking and scripting attacks.
 .
 In addition to providing a familiar mouse-based interface like other web
 browsers, it offers a set of vi-like keyboard commands for users who prefer
 to keep their hands on their keyboard.
 .
 The default settings provide a secure environment. With simple keyboard
 commands, the user can whitelist specific sites, allowing cookies and scripts
 from those sites.
 .
 xombrero is light and has a very good performance when running over network
 connections, as SSH forwarded tunnels.
 .
 The major features are:
   - Tabbed browsing;
   - Written entirely in C;
   - Based on Webkit and GTK3, with GTK2 compatibility;
   - Built with security in mind;
   - Minimal on-screen layout;
   - Cookie, javascript and plugin toggles and whitelists;
   - Browsing session data auto-saves in case of crash;
   - Simple integration with Tor and other web proxies;
   - vi-like default keybindings;
   - Mouse-less browsing;
   - Basic MIME support;
   - Seamless upgrade process;
   - DNS and link prefetch disabled by default;
   - Colorful address bar indicates HTTPS certificate status;
   - Control over user_agent presented to sites;
   - Download manager;
   - Text-based config file;
   - Bookmarks, i.e. favorites;
   - Printing, including to PDF.
