Dear Maintainer,

I intend to salvage the package "libogg", for the following reasons:

- "libogg" currently FTBFS (due to using a very outdated debhelper
  compat) [#965673]
- a new upstream release 1.3.5 of "libogg" has been released two years
  ago, with a bug [#1004545] opened for this in january 2022, with no
  feedback from the current maintainer
- the last upload of the package was an NMU, but never got acknowledged
  by the current maintainer.

- no visible packaging activity for 2913 days
  - the last upload by the current maintainer was 2014-05-28
  - there has been an unacknowledged NMU upload on 2021-01-13
  - there are 3 open bug reports, ranging from wishlist to *serious*
    since 2020-07-20 (to be fair, one of the wishlist bugs has only
    been filed in 2022-03-10)
    not a single bug report has seen *any* reaction from the current
    maintainer.

I'm aware that the maintainer of "libogg" does not usually want to make
packaging changes without specific reasons, but I don't think that this
allows for completely ignoring open bug-reports of severity SERIOUS for
more than 1½ year.

I'm happy with co-maintaining the package (although my stance at
maintenance is definitely more aggressive with regard to updating to the
latest and greatest source format, dh-compat and the like).
I would more than welcome maintenance of the package under the
multimedia-team umbrella.

it would be great to hear something from the current maintainer of
"libogg".

cheers

Dear maintainer,

I've prepared an NMU for libogg (versioned as 1.3.4-1) and
uploaded it to DELAYED/7. Please feel free to tell me if I
should delay it longer.

Regards.
