#11772 — Fwd: Re: Bug#920127: Removed package(s) from unstable

This was sent to the FTP Team, but it seems like someone with some bandwidth 
to assist from DPMT/PAPT would be a better audience.  Note that the removal's 
already been done, but if someone wants to sponsor a python3 update to the 
package, they can ping me for a quick trip through New to bring it back.

Hello,

I am up upstream maintainer for colortest-python and wanted to communicate 
that
it is not dead and it fully supports running with python3. I responded with 
the
same message to the ticket about this (#936320). I'd be happy to help maintain
it the package if necessary.

Thanks.

It seems like a little bit more due diligence is needed before filing removals.

In theory yes, but in practice because this is a multi-thousand package transition we're trying to get through, I think it's better to move fast even if we break a few things than to be super careful and slow.  Things like this can be fixed.

It's better to push hard early in the development cycle so there's time to recover.

Nope. This package did not see an upload since Aug 2013. it was
orphaned since Jan 2019. Nobody stepped up. It ended up removed.

If the upstream author or a debian packager wants it in debian, it's
easy enough to re-introduce it.
