The current maintainer of pychess, Varun Hiremath, is apparently not active anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.

Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.

If you want to be the new maintainer, please see https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/#howto-o for detailed instructions how to adopt a package properly.
