Public bug reported:

[MIR] libemail-sender-perl (as a libmail-dmarc-perl dependency)

libemail-sender-perl

[Availability]
The package libemail-sender-perl is already in Ubuntu universe.
The package libemail-sender-perl build for the architectures it is designed to work on.
It currently builds and works for architectures: amd64 (all)
Link to package https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libemail-sender-perl

[Rationale]
The package libemail-sender-perl is required in Ubuntu main for libmail-dmarc-perl.
The package libemail-sender-perl will not generally be useful for a large part of
our user base, but is important/helpful still because it is required as runtime dependency by libmail-dmarc-perl
( libmail-dmarc-perl is in the MIR process here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libmail-dmarc-perl/+bug/2023971 )

The package libemail-sender-perl is required in Ubuntu main no later
than through the same scheduled requested for the  libmail-dmarc-perl
promotion, since libmail-dmarc-perl depends on it.

[Security]
Had 1 security issues in the past:
 - Affected by CVE-2015-7686: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887545 and https://github.com/rjbs/Email-Sender/pull/57
   Reported by DD Pali Rohar, in Debian was fixed 3 days after the pacth were available in the bug report. On upstream, it tooks 4 years.
No `suid` or `sgid` binaries.
No executables in `/sbin` and `/usr/sbin`.
Package does not install services, timers or recurring jobs.
Package does not open privileged ports (ports < 1024).
Package does not expose any external endpoints.
Package does not contain extensions to security-sensitive software (filters, scanners, plugins, UI skins, ...);
it's a wrapper for other enconding perl modules.

[Quality assurance - function/usage]
The package works well right after install

[Quality assurance - maintenance]
The package is maintained well in Debian/Ubuntu and does
not have too many, long-term & critical, open bugs:
   - Ubuntu (0) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libemail-sender-perl/+bug
   - Debian (0) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=libemail-sender-perl
   - Upstream's bug tracker (16) https://github.com/rjbs/Email-Sender/issues
     + Upstream's repo last activity:
       - last commit: in main, Oct 23, 2022
       - Issues without answer: 14
       - Updated issue/PR: Oct 30, 2022
       - last fixed/closed/merged issue: Mar 20, 2021
       - last merged PR: Oct 23, 2022
The package has important/old open bugs on upstream , listing them:
- https://github.com/rjbs/Email-Sender/issues/81 : Email::Sender::Transport::SMTP::Persistent should call its disconnect method on destruction
  Reading the bug, the reporter claims that the latest mail can be dropped.
The package does not deal with exotic hardware we cannot support

[Quality assurance - testing]
The package runs a test suite on build time, if it fails
it makes the build fail: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/635298777/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-amd64.libemail-sender-perl_2.600-1_BUILDING.txt.gz :
   
      dh_auto_test
   	make -j4 test TEST_VERBOSE=1
   make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>'
   PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 "/usr/bin/perl" "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(1, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t
   
The package runs an autopkgtest (via autodep8 using 'Testsuite: autopkgtest-pkg-perl' in d/control file - https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libemail-sender-perl/tree/debian/control#n8 -),
that runs essentialy the above build-time test suite. It is currently passing on
this list of architectures (amd64, arm64, armhf, ppc64el, riscv64, s390x), except on i386: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/packages/l/libemail-sender-perl

The package does have failing autopkgtests tests right now, but since
they always failed they are handled as "ignored failure", this is
because the test depends on pkg-perl-tools package that is not
build for i386 since focal.

[Quality assurance - packaging]
debian/watch is present and works.

debian/control defines a correct Maintainer field : Debian Perl Group
<pkg-perl-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> (

perl/tree/debian/control#n2)

This package does not rely on obsolete or about to be demoted packages.
This package has no python2 or GTK2 dependencies.

The package will not be installed by default.

[Standards compliance]
This package correctly follows FHS and Debian Policy (4.6.1)

[Maintenance/Owner]
Owning Team will be Ubuntu Server Team.
Team is not yet, but will subscribe to the package before promotion.
This does not use static builds.
This does not use vendored code.
This package is not rust based.

The package successfully built during the most recent test rebuild :
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-
rebuild-20230515-lunar-v3/+build/26135442/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-lunar-
amd64.libemail-sender-perl_2.600-1_BUILDING.txt.gz

[Background information]
The Package description explains the package well.
Upstream Name is Email-Sender .
Link to upstream project https://metacpan.org/dist/Email-Sender

This has been in the archive since at least 2009 (0.091870-1). It's
never had a bug filed against it in Launchpad.

Since libmoose-perl pulls in more universe packages, but is just a Recommends, we could drop it to Suggests instead, but I'll
study in the correspondent libthrowable-perl MIR bug the implications of doing that.
