The splint package has not seen a maintainer upload since 2009 and its
maintainer Y Giridhar Appaji Nag is missing in action). I'm therefore
orphaning the package.

At the same time I made a QA upload switching package maintainance
over a git repository on collab-maint. It fixes the most pressing issues
that resulted in its removal from testing.

(splint is a build-dependency of greenbone-security-assistant that we have
in Kali and I thus want it back into testing)

Hello,

I would like to adopt the *splint* package.

I am interested in maintaining this package in Debian. I have started
reviewing the package and would like to take responsibility for its
maintenance, including fixing bugs, reviewing patches, and keeping it in
good shape.

Please let me know if there is any ongoing work or anything I should be
aware of before taking over the package.

Best regards,

Danial-maleki
