  • Has anyone seen Yann Amar (src:bilibop)?

    Hi;

    The salvage team largely operates by QAing packages highlighted by BOTD
    http://blends.debian.net/botd/botd.html
    which means ones with non-wontfix bugs & not uploaded by maintainer for 5 years & Standards-Version < 4 & no/invalid VCS.

    This has a high hit-rate, and I've noticed that many of these packages' maintainers only maintain one package. Thus, I'm evaluating
    the ~1000 single-package maintainers' packages under the same lens
    (the hit-rate is much lower and my query is not good).

    Yesterday I got to Yann Amar <[email protected]>,
    who maintains src:bilibop.

    tracker.d.o shows a history of very regular uploads,
    both big and small, from 2013-09-21 up to 0.6.3 @ 2021-02-09.

    https://bugs.debian.org/src:bilibop lists, chronologically:
    #983396 2021-02 bilibop: [INTL:pt_BR] Brazilian Portuguese debconf templates translation
    #995691 2021-10 [INTL:sv] Swedish strings for bilibop debconf
    #1002939 2022-01 bilibop: [INTL:it] Italian translation of debconf messages
    #1025592 2022-12 bilibop-rules: suggests transitional policykit-1 package
    #1059552 2023-12 bilibop: isolation-machine autopkgtest (lockfs) fails on bookworm and newer

    The last commit in the VCS
    https://un.poivron.org/~quidame/git/bilibop.git/
    from 2021-03-08 is d/changelog for 0.6.4 with #983396 applied.
    This matches the last-modified date on
    https://un.poivron.org/~quidame/git/
    and is the latest out of all repositories there.

    The homepage/wiki all has last-updated dates from juin 2013.
    I don't see any other posts under this name on lists.d.o.
    contact/ says quidame on OFTC, and that user doesn't seem to be online.
    I haven't linked this user to any other on-line medium.

    I'd characterise this behaviour as highly uncharacteristic and worrying
    (I may just be primed after
    https://github.com/cybernoid/archivemount/issues/29
    but early 2021 is not much different to excess deaths from late 2020 :/).

    Has anyone seen Yann Amar?

    Has anyone seen Yann Amar?

    I have tried out of band methods and I've just received sign of life :)

    I'll now put Yann Amar in touch with the person who's currently
    responsible for sponsoring uploads of src:bilibop.

    Cheers,
