Hi Matthias,

I'm interested in salvaging the package liblog-dispatch-filerotate-perl,
in accordance with the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the
Developers Reference[1].  This 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:

  - NMUs (more than one NMU in a row).
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
    maintainer.
  - Upstream has released several versions, but despite there being
    a bug entry asking for it, it has not been packaged.
  - There are QA issues with the package.

I believe the package would be a great addition to the Perl Group, and I
took the liberty to create the Salsa repository here[2]. If you choose
not to accept the ITS, I'd be more than happy to help you move it to
another location, such as debian/, or wherever you prefer. My goal is to
make it as easy as possible for you to join the team. I'd also be
delighted to assist in adding you as a team member if you could share
your Salsa login.

This 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 help newcomers become familiar
with a consistent Git-based workflow.

Kind regards
    Andreas.
