Thank you for taking an interest in the package and uploading it!
I think I might have got the workflow wrong somehow for the sponsorship
because after the upload of 1.7-1 I worked with upstream on
improvements, including one of the suggestions you made below! This
resulted in version 1.9-1 which I uploaded to mentors.
1.7-1 should still be a good version so we are safe for that version
to make it to the archive but I wonder if you can suggest what my
next steps would be?
The binary change would be:
* New upstream version 1.9
- adds libsecret integration for credential management
And the source change:
* Remove m4 macros from source tree

Upstream have now removed the m4 macros and they are regenerated by
autoreconf automatically via debhelper now.

That would be great, yes please!

Thank you! I will propose to upstream.
