The gtts package is, at least nominally, maintained by the Debian Python Team, 
but has no human uploader.  As a practical matter, I think someone should 
either adopt it (add themselves to uploaders) or we should formally orphan the 
package so we aren't pretending.

It has two rdepends:

Reverse-Depends
===============
* dialect [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips64el mipsel ppc64el]
* mnemosyne

I personally track mnemosyne, even though it's not team maintained, because i 
have an interest in the package.  I noticed it was going to be removed from 
Testing because of a FTBFS bug in gtts, so I fixed gtts by updating it to the 
current upstream release.  Looking at the upload history, it's been this way 
for awhile.

One consequence of it not being actually maintained is that we released 
bookworm with a non-functional gtts package (see #1030290).  If anyone had 
been paying attention to the package, they would have noticed that should have 
been an RC bug (it is now) and it would have either been fixed or removed.

The package is now in not awful shape in Unstable (and barring surprises 
Testing later today), but it could still use some work.  The major immediate 
task for a potential maintainer would be working with the Stable Release 
Managers to get bookworm fixed.

If you're interested in the package and wiling to watch over it, please let me 
know via email.  If I don't hear back, I'll assume no one is interested and 
orphan it in a week or two.

Thanks,

Scott K
