Hi,

I'm interested in salvaging your package famfamfam-silk, in accordance
with the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers
Reference[1].  Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I
would love to assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage
process suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my
opinion:

  - Bug requesting maintenance on Salsa
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I've set up a repository within the salvage-team space[2] to assist you
with this initial setup.  I do not want to claim that the Salvage team
is a good place to host the packaging repository and most probably
debian/ is better.  However, moving away some repository from debian/
requires to involve Salsa admins which creates extra work from people
who are busy anyway.  I will most probably move the package to debian/
before uploading if there will be no better suggestions in the next 21
days.  I hope this service helps make the transition to using a Git
repository on Salsa smoother and more convenient for you.

Your package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[3] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating
packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a
consistent Git-based workflow.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
