[pkg-fgfs-crew] Status of FGo!

Hello,

I have pushed a small fix to the repo on alioth containing FGo!'s
packaging (<http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/fgo.git>) in
order to comply with
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/09/msg00000.html>,
specifically:

   2. In addition to those changes, the Technical Committee resolves
      that packages providing a .desktop file shall not also provide a
      menu file for the same application.

Given that FGo!'s upstream appears to be inactive these days, I suspect
that waiting for a new upstream release before uploading this tiny fix
could last a very long time. Therefore, even if the change is really
minor, people able to sponsor (Markus, maybe Scott?) might want to
upload the fixed package... (debian/changelog needs to have 'UNRELEASED'
replaced with 'unstable')

Which leads me to the real subject of this e-mail: I am not sure if I
should stay in FGo!'s Uploader's field. On the one hand, I am willing to
help if for instance some Python problem would prevent the package from
building, or other stuff like that. On the other hand, the lack of
upstream activity and my inability to contact him for almost a year now,
despite good relations all along, led me to pursue his work under the
name FFGo, in order to avoid confusion. FFGo has Python 3 support, many
new features compared to FGo!, as well as a few bug fixes (FGo! doesn't
have many bugs). This is what I am working on, and thus pretending I am
still working on FGo! is a bit overstretched.

Any opinion?

Regards
