2010-01-12 Thread Simon McVittie
Source: aub
Severity: serious
Justification: orphaned, orphaned upstream, low popcon, alternatives exist
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: proposed-removal

aub seems like a candidate for removal from Debian:

* orphaned
* the previous Debian maintainer was also the upstream
* low popcon (6 votes)
* alternatives exist (e.g. brag, lottanzb, nzb)

If you want to keep this package around in Debian, please adopt it.

If you don't think it's worth keeping, please send the following commands
to cont...@bugs.debian.org, replacing nn with this bug's number:

severity nn normal
reassign nn ftp.debian.org
retitle nn RM: aub -- RoQA; orphaned, no upstream, low popcon, alternatives
thanks
