Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan <rkrishnan@debian.org> has retired, so can't work on
the ygl package anymore (at least with this address).

We are tracking their status in the MIA team and would like to ask you
to remove them from the Uploaders list of the package so we can close
that part of the file.

(If the person is listed as Maintainer, what we are asking is to please
step in as a new maintainer.)

Thanks.

Well, techinically you are already the maintainer.  From the current
package:

    Source: ygl
    Priority: extra
    Maintainer: Prabhu Ramachandran <prabhu@aero.iitb.ac.in>
    Uploaders: Ramakrishnan Muthukrishnan <rkrishnan@debian.org>


In that case, probably this package should be orphaned instead?

Hi Mattia,

I am afraid I don't exactly know what to do or have the bandwidth for stepping
in as a maintainer.  However, Kumar Appaiah (CC'd) said that he would be able to
help.

Thank you!

I'm Prabhu's co-worker. I can co-maintain it with him.

Thanks.

Hi Mattia, Kumar,

Kumar, would you have any plans to adopt this?

Since this package was last uploaded in 2009 (~13 years ago) and the
maintainer stated that they have no bandwidth to keep maintaining it
plus Uploader has retired, and this had 3 RC bugs opened (for a long
time), I fixed the RC bugs, and made the "Debian QA Team" as the package
maintainer (effectively orphaning it) and did a upload for this package.
The said bug that I am replying to right now has been open for 4+ years
(almost 5) and hence from a pragmatic pov, I found it right to do.

Unless Kumar has plans of stepping in, do you think we should close this
bug report too?

Let me know.

Regards,
Nilesh

Yes, this is perfectly fine, thank you.

Unless Kumar has plans of stepping in, do you think we should close this

Rather, instead of closing it please reassign to wnpp and retitle it to
match the O bugs template title.

Dear Nilesh, Mattia,

I concur. Kindly retitle it to O, since I am also unable to step up at
this time.

Hi Nilesh,

Thank you for taking this up.  I don't use this package anymore so I am a bit
out of touch on the status of the package.

Regards,
Prabhu
