We request assistance with maintaining the ifupdown package.
The package description is:
This package provides the tools ifup and ifdown which may be used to
configure (or, respectively, deconfigure) network interfaces based on
interface definitions in the file /etc/network/interfaces.
The primary maintainer (josue) is essentially MIA, while the secondary maintainer (santiago) currently has no time to devote to the package's maintenance.
At the very least, outstanding bugs with patches need to be triaged, and the command options we pass to the new default DHCP client (dhcpcd-base) have to be tweaked on time for the Trixie release.

Hey Martin-Éric,
Thanks for open this RFH. It's something that we should have done sooner.

Well, I'm not MIA but I do understand where this come from, at least from
the ifupdown point of view. Sadly, I've been quite busy with $DAILY_JOB and running low of Debian spoons just focusing on other packages, never having
the time or energy to get to ifupdown. I've been intending to remove my name from the maintainers field for some time.
I've been leaning on santiago (Thanks you santiago!) on the ifupdown maintainance but it looks like he hasn´t the time anymore.

I'll try to work on this over the weekend but I don´t promise anything,
if someone wants to step in please do!
