Bug#847440: [Resolvconf-devel] Bug#847440: pending

I will orphan the package if I can't meet my self-imposed deadline. I'll
also RFA it again, although that didn't attract any interest on previous
occasions.

Please feel free to do a QA NMU.

Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,

having no time or motivation to work on a package is not a shame, but
could you please properly orphan the package then (or give us the
permission to do so if you don't want to read up on the procedure)? I'd
like to at least do a QA upload for Buster with the git repository
migrated to Salsa and #847440 fixed.

I don't want to maintain it either (barely using it), but having it
officially orphaned would lower the bar for NMUs.

Best Regards,
Bernhard

Bug#847440: [Resolvconf-devel] Bug#847440: pending

[Thomas Hood]

Hi there,

I am still the maintainer, at least on paper.

After my attempt to get through the new maintainer process failed (several
years ago now) I tried to find someone to take over as maintainer of
resolvconf but I was not successful. (Know anyone who might be interested?)
As I felt it was my duty I carried on as maintainer with a sponsor, but not
being a member of the project my interest in Debian gradually declined and
releases became less and less frequent. The importance of the package has
also declined, especially now that the package is no longer part of Ubuntu
base. I use Ubuntu, not Debian.

Doing a new release has been on my TODO list for many months but it didn't
have a high enough priority to get executed. Sometimes, the longer one
avoids a task, the more one avoids it.

I still want to do a new release in order to close the open bugs, none of
which is RC. Setting a deadline should help. I hereby set a deadline for
myself of the end of March 2019. I realize that is too late for Buster.

Cheers,
Thomas Hood
