Dear Debian dvcs-autosync package maintainer,

I checked the condition of package dvcs-autosync in Debian
at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dvcs-autosync , and it looks like it
received no maintainer uploads in the past 12 years. Also, it is affected by
python2 removal and missed last Stable release. As a result, I believe it is
time to have this package removed from Debian archive.

Please let me know if you have any comments on the removal proposal. If
there is no objections in the next 14 days, I will proceed and submit a
package removal request against Debian FTP Masters. If you have any
questions, please feel free to let me know.

Regards,
Boyuan Yang

I agree that, at this point, it should better be removed from the main
archive. Moving to Python 3 was blocked because, in that move, I also
intended to introduce a better communication mechanism, but ran out of
time for this project to do so properly. My development version has
never stabilized sufficiently to upload to main.

best,
Rene
