I want to help improve timidity's packaging for Debian. I am beginning
the Package Salvaging procedure described in the Developers
Reference[1]. timidity 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:
- The package has been maintained by NMUs (4 of them) since 2023
I propose that timidity be transferred to the Debian Multimedia team.
The package maintainer is already a member of that team.
Additionally, there is an RC bug which resulted in timidity's removal
from Testing in August. I'm uploading an NMU now to fix that.
