Ping?

I intend to proceed with the removal request if nobody objects within
another 2 months.

Package: perlpanel
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: Adrian Bunk 

Hi QA,

this package is one of the very few blockers that currently prevent us
from removing the obsolete libgnome2-*perl from the archive.

The version in the archive is a CVS (!) snapshot from 2005 and popcon
is fairly low (inst:74, vote: 14). It's been orphaned back in March
and is now maintained by the Debian QA group. Adrian (Cc'ed) uploaded
it in June.

Can I proceed and request the removal of perlpanel from the archive,
or is anyone interested to remove this obsolete dependency during the
Buster cycle?

Context: ideally I would like to sort this out during DebCamp, so
a quick answer would be appreciated. But of course I understand if you
can't react this fast :)

For background information, see #868398.

Cheers,
