In most cases, the maintainer is unresponsive to ITS bug reports or other attempts to reach them. Currently, we have three main options for handling such situations: The MIA process, ITS (Intent to Salvage), NMUs (Non-Maintainer Uploads), However, these mechanisms are not always sufficient to uphold Debian’s high-quality standards. In this BoF, I want to discuss potential improvements to our approach, based on conversations during DebCamp, and explore additional strategies to better maintain package quality in Debian.
