6 months ago, I sent a mail looking for new maintainers on a bunch of my
packages. I didn't get many takers, so here they are again. The sys-
ones are getting base-system on them, per vapier's original suggestion.

This is badly in need of a maintainer. if somebody wants to take the
main parts of it, I can help them with the LDAP section of it.

I'll hang onto this for a bit longer, another mail to -dev coming here.

Verbump needed, has one bug outstanding. Stable candidate.

Not sent to base-system. no bugs or verbumps, stable candidate.

Not sent to base-system. Stable candidate (actually had a pending sec
vuln that slipped thru the cracks, that i filed to security and
patched).

printing herd, can you take this?

Still all available. Have pending bugs and version bumps.

iscsi-target is still available. Has pending bugs.
open-iscsi and iscsi-initiator-core-tools picked up maintainers.

Still available. Pending verbump for aoetools.

Still available, no pending bugs or verbumps, should get stable keywords.

I never got that hardware, so it's still available. No pending bugs or
verbumps. Should get stable keywords.

Still available, no pending bugs or version bumps. Should get stable
keywords.

No bugs or verbumps, should get stable keywords.
> sys-block/qla-fc-firmware
I'll hang onto this one for now.

This package is dying once net-tools gets the last binaries per bug
#205727.

No pending bugs or bumps, stable keyword candidates.
For fwcrv, there's been a lurking endian bug for a while, but sometimes
it works, sometimes it does - suspected that it might be slightly buggy
fireware devices out there rather than the software itself.

No pending bugs or verbumps. Maybe a stable candidate. lu_zero, you
handle qemu, do you want this too?

Sent to dev-embedded herd.

Sure, but as long as none of us as such hardware we can only do basic
maintenance. This is a not-so-hidden call to anybody with this and
other printing hardware to join the net-print herd to help us.

Same here. I'm happy fixing and bumping stuff in dev-embedded but I do
not have access to any hardware anymore. So anyone is welcome to help
and join this herd too.
Denis.

No releases for 7.5 years. So only bitrot to worry about it.
I used to have a supported printer, but that was years ago.

Mine now! :) Seems the newer version doesn't require a lengthy init script...
