Source: pv-grub-menu
Version: 1.3+nmu1
Severity: serious
Justification: grab attention of maintainer

I suggest removing pv-grub-menu from Debian for the following reasons:
* Homepage, location of source not documented
* Last maintainer upload in 2014 (bugs filed later got no response from maintainer)
* There are no votes in popcon
https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=pv-grub-menu&show_installed=on&show_vote=on&want_legend=on&want_ticks=on&from_date=&to_date=&hlght_date=&date_fmt=%25Y-%25m&beenhere=1
* Maintainer wrote in private mail "between updating VCS URLs or asking for removal, I support removal."
This bug serves as a pre-removal warning. After one month, the bug will be reassigned to ftp.debian.org to actually request removal of the package.
In case the package should be kept in unstable, please provide a valid homepage / download location for the source and decrease the severity of
this bug. I'm happily assist in updating the Vcs URL to Salsa and
modernise the package if there is some real interest in it.
In case the package should be removed from unstable, you may reassign this bug report:
Control: severity -1 normal
Control: retitle -1 RM: pv-grub-menu -- RoM; rc-buggy
Control: reassign -1 ftp.debian.org
Control: affects -1 + src:pv-grub-menu
Alternatively, you may wait a month and have it reassigned.
Thi package was highlighted in the Bug of the Day[1] initiative, which
aims to introduce newcomers to manageable tasks and guide them through
the workflow to solve them. The focus of this initiative is on migrating packages to Salsa, as it's a great way to familiarize newcomers with a consistent Git-based workflow.
Kind regards
Andreas.
