Bug Description

RM openwsman - obsolete, lack of maintaince

openwsman, software appears to be undermaintained in Ubuntu. It is only packaged in Ubuntu, in universe, without any (remaining) community developers tending to its maintainance.

It is behind a few upstream releases, and now FTBFS (as it needs newer releases for ruby2.5, and openssl1.1 support).

It does not appear to be used widely on the Ubuntu platform, or if it is used - using this old version of this software is not recommended.

If there is interest to maintain this software, and/or commercial engagements to support this software, it could be reintroduced to ubuntu, with proper maintainance, updates and security support. Until such time, it is best not to ship knowingly obsolete software.

wsmancli is a reverse-dependency of openwsman in the archive from a separate source package. Can you confirm that this should also be removed?

Yes, wsmancli is part of the same stack.

Please note, there were MIRs, which appears to have never progressed.
