thanks for asking about fava. There are currently two RC bugs, but I'd like to keep this package in unstable very much. I use it, so I'll try to fix the RC bugs.

Can you give an estimate as to when you want to work on fava? Your
statement of intention is now three months old. The bug about missing
sources is now unanswered for almost two years. Chris answered the FTBFS
bug two months ago, but it remains unfixed. At some point I think it is better to pull the plug. Keep in mind that broken packages pose a cost
to QA teams. Keeping them is not for free. How about removing fava now
and reintroducing it once the rc bugs have a solution? Alternatively,
can you post an update on your plans for fixing the missing sources bug
to #1031724?

I won't speak for Tobias, but I'm guessing he was waiting on more news
from me, and I got sick and dropped the ball.
What costs do broken packages incur? Is it the FTBFS bugs?
If we get that fixed, will we be less of a burden?
Fava is a very useful package, and I hope to see it stay in Debian.
