Done, I added the link.

Still on my infinite TODO list and browser tabs.
It should be somewhere in https://salsa.debian.org/qa/udd/ that I need 
to contribute.

Thank you, now I better understand the procedure.
If I was not involved in Debian I would not understand that the games 
team says it's not up to them to get it back and running.
My thoughts emailing the list is that maybe someone would want to 
salvage the package.
Seems like nobody wants to, and that's okay.
The package still works, cool.

Please add me as a cc for any replies, I am not in the list.
