+As [[* Planning to orphan Pagure on Debian][promised]] in the last post, I have now orphaned the Pagure Debian
+package.  Here's the full text I posted on the BTS:
+
+#+BEGIN_QUOTE
+After several years, I finally decided to orphan pagure :-(.
+
+I haven't been using it as my personal forge anymore, and unfortunately
+upstream development slowed down quite a bit after the main author and
+maintainer stopped contributing regularly to the project.  But that is
+not to say that upstream is dead; they are still working towards
+preparing the next release.
+
+Pagure is a big package with several components and an extensive list of
+build dependencies (and an even bigger testsuite which I never managed
+to make fully work on Debian).  It is not for the faint of heart, and
+most of the time is usually spent fixing its (build) dependencies so
+that it doesn't get removed from testing.
+
+If I may, I would like to leave some suggestions for a future
+maintainer.
+
+- I never had the time to write dep8 tests, mainly because setting up
+  the software is not trivial.  It would be great if the package had
+  more Debian-centric testing.
+
+- Speaking of the hurdles to setting up Pagure, I believe the package
+  installation could be made a bit more automated using debconf.  I
+  don't see a way to fully automate it (look at d/README.Debian), but
+  there is certainly room for improvement.
+
+I also left a brief TODO list inside d/README.source; feel free to
+tackle any item there!
+
+I wish the next maintainer can have as much fun with the package as I
+did when I first made it for Debian!
+
+Thank you,
+#+END_QUOTE
+
+That's it.  It was while it lasted, but I needed to feel myself
+unburdened so that I don't have that constant feeling of "I should be
+properly maintaining this package...".
+
+If you feel like you'd like to give it a try at maintaining Pagure,
+now is the time!
