Hi Soren,
Thanks for offering to sponsor this package. However, is having
packaging hosted in a Git repo necessary for getting the package
sponsored? Although it's a nice to do thing, I've had 24 other packages
sponsored without this requirement in the past.
Are there any specific instructions on how to host the packaging in Salsa?
Kind regards,
Colin

Seeing as how you were kind enough to follow my advice, I will return the
favor by review your packages on Mentors, starting with this one.
It doesn’t look like you currently have your packing hosted in a Git
repository (or, at least, it isn’t indicated in a VCS field). I always require
building from Git when sponsoring a package. Although you can host it
anywhere you like, I highly recommend you host it on Salsa (which has a lot of
cool integrations with the rest of the Debian infrastructure, including
automatic CI that you can enable).
https://salsa.debian.org/
If there isn’t an existing group that would make sense for this package, you
can either place it in the Debian group (which makes it easy for any Debian
Developer to help with the package maintenance, or place it under your own
name). If you would like to host it in the Debian group, just let me know
your Salsa username and I can create the repository and give you permissions
to upload to it.
