Hi Adrian,

I'm interested in salvaging your package black-box, in accordance with
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
I confirm the package does not really fit the criteria for salvaging
some package since it was not NMUed and the open bugs (except the one
about maintaining the package in Debian Games team) are hard to fix
downstream while upstream seems to be inactive since a long time.

I completely respect your preference for how you wish to manage your
package. I believe, however, that your package would be a great addition
to the Debian Games team, and I've taken the initiative to create a
Salsa repository [2] for it. As per the ITS procedure, I'd be happy to
add my ID to the Uploaders field if you're comfortable with that. If,
however, you would prefer not to maintain your package collaboratively
in Salsa, please let me know, and I'll gladly close this bug report and
mark #1090346 as wont-fix, clearly indicating your preference.

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 - and BTW, I appreciate all your QA work in Debian
    Andreas.

Hi Adrian,

Today another one of your packages (gkrellm-tz) came up as a candidate
for the Bug of the Day query. Since you're otherwise an active and
responsive maintainer, I checked UDD and noticed that none of your
packages appear to be maintained in Git on Salsa.

This might be a deliberate choice or personal policy -- which, of
course, is entirely fine. The Salvaging Team respects such decisions. If
that's the case, it would be helpful if you could tag this bug `wontfix`
to indicate that explicitly.

If you do, I'll make sure to exclude your maintainer ID from future runs
of the Bug of the Day query, so you won't get further pings on this
topic.

Thanks for all your work on Debian and QA!

Kind regards
   Andreas.
