Three DDs = four opinions about packaging. :)) (I'm sitting on the fence, enjoying life as user and upstream.) Whatever, Willem Vermin already posted a RFS bug a week ago: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=930074 But it does not show up in https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2019/06/threads.html Probably because it was filed against Package "xsnow" rather than the shown https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2019/06/msg00023.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2019/06/msg00038.html which are attributed to Package "sponsorship-requests". Maybe https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq has useful hints. Have a nice day :) Thomas

See https://mentors.debian.net/intro-maintainers If needed ask for advise at the mailing list https://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/ The up-to-now maintainer should officially "orphan" the package so that you can express your interest in taking over.
