Apparently you'll need to do a SCM admin request

> From link [1]: 
 Package Change Requests for existing packages

 To request:
 
 additional branches for an existing package
 
 unretirement of a package on specific branches
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 other special git requests, etc

Looking for reasons why mod_security pkg was orphaned/retired

[Peter Vrabec]

Hi Athmane,

I'm sorry for this inconvenience. You see, it was not my aim to retire 
mod_security.

I decided to move my ownership to Daniel since I was not an active 
maintainer. I believe Daniel will be more helpful and responsive than 
me. He just needs to improve his mouse control a bit. ;)

Peter.
