Subject: Bug#345353: O: mantis

Package: wnpp Severity: normal I originally adopted the Mantis package because I hoped that a previous employer would start using the .deb instead of local installations. This didn't happen, so I have never really been a user of the package maintained by me. What's worse: Support from upstream in general and especially security handling has been less than optimal. Quite frankly: My patience has been exhausted by now. If nobody wants to take over this package, we should consider not releasing it with etch. Threre is quite a number of outstanding security issues (#345288). Before I cease working on the package altogether, I'll try to assist the security team in providing a package for sarge.
