Hello, I'd like to maintain the package picocom

github/homepage: https://github.com/npat-efault/picocom

As its name suggests, /picocom/ is a minimal dumb-terminal emulation program. It is, in 
principle, very much like minicom, only it's "pico" instead of "mini"!

It was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem configuration, testing, and debugging 
tool. It has also served (quite well) as a low-tech serial communications program to allow 
access to all types of devices that provide serial consoles. It could also prove useful in 
many other similar tasks. It can be used in embedded systems, since its memory footprint 
is rather small (approximately 40K, when stripped and minimally configured).

CATEGORY="Utils"
SUMMARY="Minimal dumb-terminal emulator"
DESCRIPTION="picocom was designed to serve as a simple, manual, modem
 configuration, testing, and debugging tool. It has also served (quite
 well) as a low-tech \"terminal-window\" to allow operator intervention
 in PPP connection scripts (something like the ms-windows \"open
 terminal window before / after dialing\" feature). It could also prove
 useful in many other similar tasks. It is ideal for embedded systems
 since its memory footprint is minimal."
