No revdeps, m-n, seems dead upstream based on the email thread at $URL. CCing treecleaner.
Comment 2 James Cloos 2021-07-26 15:33:58 UTC
removing such a package over a triviality like this is most unethical.

That's not really an acceptable accusation, and you should apologize and take it back.

The package is unmaintained both upstream and in Gentoo. If you want to change one or both of those, please be our guest. Unfortunately we're not equipped to handle every piece of software ever with our finite resources. I'd expect that you know that given the amount of time you've been around Gentoo, FreeDesktop, and free software in general.

I guess no GLSA, given it's gone for almost a year? ;-)
