I have not uploaded this package once and I am not the maintainer of this package. How should I orphan this package? You don't need to; you merely need to undo the ITA. This is done by simply retitling the bug report again, back to an RFA as it was originally. It would be best to do so with a message to 430...@bugs.debian.org and Cc to cont...@bugs.debian.org. Put the control commands at the top of the message, and then use the rest of the message as a prose explanation of why you're changing it. Just change the owner of this bug to QA group? The owner is still the original reporter, so that's fine for the RFA and shouldn't change. -- \ “In case of fire, do your utmost to alarm the porter.” —hotel, | `\Vienna | _o__) | Ben Finney -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
