[DRE-maint] Bug#653332: thin is unmaintained

[Faidon Liambotis]

Package: thin
Version: 1.2.4-1.1
Severity: serious

Hi,

I noticed that the package "thin" hasn't been maintained properly.

It hasn't had a maintainer upload since September 2009 when 1.2.4-1 was
uploaded; during that time, upstream released 1.2.6 (Feb 2010), 1.2.7
(March 2010), 1.2.8 (February 2011) & 1.3.0 (November 2011); it had an
NMU (by yours truly) in January 2011 just to keep in the squeeze
release; it has a bug (+patch) open to update it to newer Ruby packaging
rules (#652090) with no maintainer reply.

The package in its current version works for me. However, I believe it
is unsuitable for a release (and hence inclusion in testing) as it's
clearly lacking a maintainer. I'd suggest either to start working on it,
or O/RFH it.

Regards,
Faidon
