Overall looks pretty good, but note: * You have doubled changelog entries. * Accd'g to its description,cvsweb-3.0.6+9/debian/patches/0003-483442-fix-perl-510-test-failure.patchcan be dropped.* I disagree with your assessment of Forwarded: not-needed for most patches(for example, Perl 5.18 is definitely forwardable!). * lintian-overriding pedantic and especially pedantic+experimental tagsmakes very little sense (and "I can't decide what to write" is a bad override reason).
Thanks very much for the feedback: I admit I got lazy and didn't do well enough. Now the changelog is fixed, and I re-reviewed all the patches, forwarded most of them.
I just uploaded to mentors again, please check that.About lintian-overrides: yes I agree with you...but I also get emails from Phil Wyett (from debian-mentors?) pointing out that "the package is not ready for sponsorship because of this pedantic tag and this experimental tag etc." I have sent an email in the past to the mailing list to ask "should I care about pedantic tags", but I didn't receive any response, until now.
* As for maintainer-manual-page's "don't know how to contact upstream" comment:* I see Homepage: https://cvsweb.bsd.lv/ ->CVSweb was originally developed by members of the FreeBSD project and is currently maintained by on BSD.lv.Copyright © 2019 Ingo Schwarze, $Date: 2020/10/05 10:40:32 $ release notes -> by schwarze so it'll be Ingo Schwarze <schwa...@openbsd.org>.
Right, because the email address wasn't written on the webpage, I wasn't sure if this person Ingo Schwarze is the same person of OpenBSD developer. But anyway, I sent an email to that address.
Whether you want to actually post the patches and/or manual to him is up to you,but you should definitely get him to fix the webpage.
Yes, I did that while I was forwarding the patches.Btw, I should also thank you for salvaging the svn history and importing into salsa, that helped a lot when I didn't know where to start.
