I request an adopter for the nedit package. I became the maitainer of
nedit back in the days when I was searching for ways to contribute to
Debian, the package was orphaned. However, I never really used nedit
myself, but, as there wasn't much happening upstream, the situation
was OK. Today, I was pointed at a seemingly active fork of it [1],
which I don't intent to handle. So it's time for me to request for
adoption.

The package description is:
 NEdit is a multi-purpose text editor for the X Window System, which
 combines a standard, easy to use, graphical user interface with the
 thorough functionality and stability required by users who edit text
 eight hours a day. It provides intensive support for development in
 a wide variety of languages, text processors, and other tools, but
 at the same time can be used productively by just about anyone who
 needs to edit text.
 .
 Because of its mature age, NEdit does not support UTF-8 text files,
 nor will that be implemented.

Hi,

This bug is now 3 years old and I haven't worked on nedit in all that
time. I wanted to show it to my peers here at the DebianReunionHamburg
and realised I don't even have the package installed. I think it's
time to orphan the package.
