Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Hi,
For the last two years, I have worked on the maintenance of the geneweb
package with the help & sponsorship of Christian Perrier (which is still
the official maintainer of the package).
https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/geneweb
https://salsa.debian.org/GuillaumeBrochu-guest/geneweb-package-test
I would like to continue the work on the package, including the migration
of the git repository to Salsa. However, in a recent private communication
with Christian, he informed me that he is no longer available to continue
the sponsorship and package maintenance, and referred me to debian-mentors.
Therefore, I need a new sponsor to continue the work. My objectives are :
- migration of the git repository to Salsa (which was previously here :
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/geneweb.git/)
- fix an old bug with the import of a new upstream release and perhaps push
it into the stretch-backports, if possible;
- prepare for Buster;
- start to test the packaging of the next geneweb release (geneweb 7), and
perhaps push it into experimental, if possible.
For this, I need (1) a new sponsor from the Debian developers team and (2)
the transfer of the maintainer status of the geneweb package to me and/or
to the new sponsor.
Thank you and best regards,
Guillaume Brochu

Hi Guillaume,
Please prepare a new upload and submit a RFS bug after that. If a
stable preparation -- sponsorship relationship is not to be
established, at least Debian Developers on debian-mentors can review
your sponsorship request on a case-by-case basis.
Since this bug report is not actually a RFS request, I am closing it
for now. Please prepare your upload and resubmit another RFS when
ready.
