Hi Free,

long time no see, how's it going?

After browsing the list of open bugs in the pkg-multimedia team [1],
I've noticed that the openmovieeditor is not really in a good shape; it
has a grave bug open and unanswered for several months now. Moreover,
the version that we ship is over three years old. I now wonder what to
do with it.

Essentially, I see the following options:

a) two members of pkg-multimedia express their interest in updating the
   package [2]
b) we orphan the package
c) we request its removal from Debian

Looking at http://packages.qa.debian.org/o/openmovieeditor.html, the
package has seen a lot of NMUs, and to my reading only Alessio and me
have actually worked on the package in this team. However, as the
package seems to be a pretty complex piece of software and I don't have
direct use of it, I'd rather opt for not nominating myself. Alessio,
what do you think about this?
