Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for package "icoutils"
* Package name : icoutils
Version : 0.31.2-1.1
Upstream Author : Frank Richter <frank.rich...@gmail.com>
* URL : http://www.nongnu.org/icoutils/
* License : GPL-3+
Section : graphics
It builds those binary packages:
icoutils - Create and extract MS Windows icons and cursors
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
https://mentors.debian.net/package/icoutils
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x
https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/i/icoutils/icoutils_0.31.2-1.1.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
icoutils (0.31.2-1.1) unstable; urgency=high
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Add patch fix-wrestool.patch from upstream commit
http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/icoutils.git/commit/?id=3c990fcc754c81a02ab5981d59b01025f1596b2c
to fix wrestool not extracting icons - this is a regression from 0.31.2.
Closes: #860220
----
I want to upload this low threshold NMU[1] because the bug being fixed
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=860220) breaks
icoutils' wrestool entirely, and prevents gnome-exe-thumbnailer (which I
maintain) and likely others[2] from properly working. Per the regular
NMU guidelines[3], I've also waited 5 days before pushing a fix for this
severity 'important' bug. Although the stretch upload deadline is coming
up soon, I really want to fix this bug for stretch so that programs
depending on wrestool are fully functional.

Thanks for hunting this down. I've gone ahead and sponsored this myself
(so, um, I guess it's not strictly an NMU now, but whatever). I
imported it into git-dpm for my own convenience, so it's not exactly
identical to your source package, but the differences are only in minor
details of patch formatting.
Can you deal with requesting the unblock from the release team?
