Bug#1039431: Maintaining yubiserver in Authentication tools packaging team?

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

today the package yubiserver came up as a candidate for the Bug of the
Day[1].  I think this package would integrate nicely into the
Authentication tools packaging team.  I'm personally no member of this
team and I do not really feel like a competent member of this team.  I
would rather like to find someone who might add the own ID to the
package and take over the maintenance of the package.  If this would be
the case I would volunteer to start the "Intend to Salvage" procedure.
(I hope my suspicion is wrong but it seems the maintainer of this
package is MIA - at least we did not got any response to other ITS bugs
in the past.)

Since I'm no member of the Authentication tools packaging team I created
a *temporary* repository in the Salvage team space[2] since it is easier
to move/fork the repository from here.  I fixed three bugs (in CC;
review of the debian/*.service file would be welcome anyway) and
modernised the packaging.  From my point of view the package is more or
less ready for uploading - just needs an additional Uploader to fulfill
Package Salvaging requirements.

In case nobody has spare spoons to care for it I would consider
orphaning the package.  Even than I'm wondering whether the auth-team
space on Salsa might be the best place for the repository instead of
simply keeping it in Debian/.

What do you think?

Kind regards
   Andreas.
