OK.

I thought just about a bit of technical work but if this is helpful, I can
try. I have to check the documentation (
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianMaintainer right?) to see if I can fulfil the
requirements for taking that role.

I have been involved with debian since a while but never has maintainer
responsibilities and wasnt very active in recent years, but finding someone
for the advocacy should be doable.

Do you suggest anything specific i should do as a next step that i might
not read in the above document?

I see also there is a newer version of the package on salsa already, not up
to date with upstream, but more current:
https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/flask-sqlalchemy
That’s probably what has been mentioned in the earlier conversations about
this bug.
But it seems not to have made it to the archive...

Thanks,
Henning

i just noticed https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=892679
which means there's no physical person currently maintaining this
package: maybe this is a good opportunity for you, Henning, to start
maintaining it within the DPT?

Can i still help to update it so the next release will be more up to date?
( an an eventual transition to newer versions before the next release less
painful)

due to freeze policies, no new releases are accepted for Bullseye so
the answer is going to be no.
