Dear Maintainers,

upstream of the package is stalled, previous maintainer doesn't respond.
During March-April there was a conflict on lists.d.o between former and new
maintainers "who hijacked my package" and i've a doubt about an uploading on
mentors.d.o and an appealing "need a sponsor for MY package"..

It's implementation of ability Ctorrent client to work with a tracker through
a proxy-server. Packages successfully builded on amd64/i386 archs.

To test it here is a simple guideline:
  $ apt-get source ctorrent
  $ cd ctorrent-1.3.4.dnh3.3.2
  $ patch -p1 < ../ctorrent.1.patch
  $ quilt import ../http-proxy-v2.diff
  $ quilt push
  $ dpkg-buildpackage --no-sign

I'm not sure about a further improvements from me or qualifying support the package.
If the way isn't appropriate to QA team, please give me an advice what can
be better: ITA or opened Bug?

Sad to hear.  And now this package is orphaned in Debian.

I suspect it will be hard to find someone in Debian to take over the
responsibility of a new feature not provided by upstream for an orphaned
package, and suspect the only way to get this feature included is to
find a working upstream project.

I am only looking at this package to get its packaging setup migrated to
git, and will leave any further development to others.
