Hi all, I'm going to be stepping back from Debian for a while, and I'm in the process of handing off packages, orphaning and removing some. Here are some things that need new maintainers: * The Debian Hamradio website (https://www.debian.org/blends/hamradio/) desperately needs an update. We should stop advertising the Debian Hamradio live system because it's built on jessie. All links should be checked and we should see if things are still relevant. * The blend metapackages need some work. Francois has done an upload here, but the team should review all the packages and make sure that: a) we've got everything that you'd want in Debian for all different hamradio use cases b) we're not wasting effort maintaining multiple things for the same purpose c) we're not clinging to software that should really have been removed a while ago You can browse the metapackages through this index: https://www.debian.org/blends/hamradio/get/metapackages I'm filing bugs on packages as I go, to request that I'm removed from uploaders on the next upload. After a month or so, I will make those uploads if they haven't happened already. It's useful to have accurate uploaders lists so you know who to contact about a package. I'm not decided yet if I will remove myself from all my packages, or just a selection, but I will try to make sure each is handed off properly if I do remove myself. Feel free to email me with any questions. I'd particularly like to hear from people that think they might want to do this but are unsure where to start, maybe are not DM/DDs yet. I've put in a lot of effort over many years for Debian and I'm happy to put in a little more to make sure that things keep moving without me. Thanks, Iain.
