The gtts package is, at least nominally, maintained by the Debian Python Team, but has no human uploader. As a practical matter, I think someone should either adopt it (add themselves to uploaders) or we should formally orphan the package so we aren't pretending.

It has two rdepends:

Reverse-Depends
===============
* dialect [amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips64el mipsel ppc64el]
* mnemosyne

I personally track mnemosyne, even though it's not team maintained, because i have an interest in the package. I noticed it was going to be removed from Testing because of a FTBFS bug in gtts, so I fixed gtts by updating it to the current upstream release. Looking at the upload history, it's been this way for awhile.

One consequence of it not being actually maintained is that we released bookworm with a non-functional gtts package (see #1030290). If anyone had
been paying attention to the package, they would have noticed that should have been an RC bug (it is now) and it would have either been fixed or removed.

The package is now in not awful shape in Unstable (and barring surprises Testing later today), but it could still use some work. The major immediate task for a potential maintainer would be working with the Stable Release Managers to get bookworm fixed.

If you're interested in the package and wiling to watch over it, please let me know via email. If I don't hear back, I'll assume no one is interested and orphan it in a week or two.

Thanks,

Scott K

Hello Scott,

I don't use it, but seems an interested project. I can work on it, but
it would be great if you have a maintainer that already know the project.

Cheers,
Emmanuel

Given the (lack of) maintenance on the package, I am pretty confident we don't have anyone in Debian that really knows it (I am willing to be pleasantly surprised).

The gtts upload I did migrated to Testing last night, so I'll leave the rest
of it to you.

Thanks,

Scott K
