Hi Kevin,
I would be interested in helping with cl-reversi, following the Package
Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1]. From what I
see, the package seems to meet the criteria for this process, and I'd
like to support keeping it maintained in Debian. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that I believe apply:
- Bugs filed against the package do not have answers from the
maintainer.
- There are QA issues with the package.
While certainly just a Common Lisp example the package could nicely fit
into the Debian Games team, 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.

Hi Andreas, Hi Andreas, Thanks for your message. I’d love to have your help with this package. I’ve not been very active in Debian in several years. I don’t recall the formal process, but I’d be glad to have you or an appropriate team take over maintenance of the package if you are interested and willing. Thanks and best wishes, Kevin

Hi Kevin, nice to hear from you, and thanks for your positive reply regarding cl-reversi. I've now uploaded the package with the Debian Games Team as maintainer. Since you mentioned that you have not been very active in Debian in recent years, I wanted to ask whether you would also be comfortable handing over maintenance of your remaining Common Lisp packages so they can continue to receive updates and team maintenance. According to UDD, these Common Lisp packages are currently maintained by you: cl-getopt cl-pipes cl-irc-logger cl-lml cl-modlisp cl-photo cl-umlisp cl-umlisp-orf cl-uffi cl-cluck cl-fftw3 cl-kmrcl cl-rss cl-base64 cl-puri cl-hyperobject cl-sql as well as: wdq2wav The Vcs URLs appear to be unavailable according to vcswatch, so my proposal would be: * I create new Salsa repositories using gbp import-dscs * move packages either to Common Lisp team maintenance or, where no active maintainers are interested, to QA maintenance * keep the packaging available and maintainable for future contributors I'd be happy to do the repository setup and migration work. This also fits well with goals I have been pursuing during my time as DPL, and I intend to continue working in this area. People in the Common Lisp Team (CCed) may be interested in maintaining specific packages under team maintenance. @Common Lisp team: If Kevin agrees to this plan, please let me know which packages should go to the team. If this sounds good to you, a simple "yes, please go ahead" would be sufficient. In any case, thanks for maintaining these packages over the years. Having them in Debian has been valuable, and making it possible for others to continue the work is greatly appreciated. Kind regards Andreas. Am Mon, May 18, 2026 at 07:25:30PM -0600 schrieb Kevin M.

It doesn't look like there is anything in my relatively narrow interest, but maybe somebody else on the team will see packages they care about. For me (and I guess most team members), just being written in common lisp isn't enough. Will remove the following packages from unstable: cl-getopt | 1.2.0-3.3 | source, all Maintainer: Kevin M.
