Hi,

I'm interested in salvaging your package freecell-solver, in accordance with
the Package Salvaging procedure outlined in the Developers Reference[1].
Your package meets the criteria for this process, and I would love to
assist in preserving and maintaining it. As the Salvage process
suggests, here is a list of the criteria that apply, in my opinion:

  - Three NMU in row
  - Bugs filed against the package do not have answers
    from the maintainer.
  - There are QA issues with the package.
  - Transition to version 6.x

I believe your package would be a great addition to the Debian Games
team (where you are welcome), and I would ask to move your Salsa repository
there[2]. freecell-solver is a library used by several games, some
already maintained by Games Teams

Kind regards
    Alexandre.
