breaking production systems. However, I was able to safely clean it up enough
to get it into trixie. Going forward, I expect it will take about 2 years to full clean up the package and all outstanding bugs.
As has already been mentioned in this thread, RFH bugs are often filed when maintainers are looking for experienced co-maintainers, usually with very difficult packages, which are often in bad shape. As such, they should probably be understood as Request For Experienced Developers To Help (but RFEDTH is a little long). They are probably the very last thing that a new contributor would be prepared to tackle. It might be best to adjust our documentation to not steer new contributors towards them, but rather towards the debian-mentors mailing list, where people can point them to some beginning
tasks if they ask.
