I have some packaging in the works which build and installs fine, but there are a few things still left to do like getting manpages to work and fix some lintian errors. You can see my progress here: https://salsa.debian.org/jespermd-guest/gnome-firmware

starting point. I have a sponsor ready.

Best regards,
Jesper Derander

I would like to become a Debian package maintainer and thought this might be a good

light+love

Thanks for working on this. As ITP holder, I'd prefer being the uploading sponsor myself. This piece of work will be funded by Ubuntu MATE and if not packaging the software myself, it may make sense to invest the time on sponsoring and reviewing your work. Let me know, if it is ok with your current sponsor to hand over sponsoring and reviewing to me. (Who is it by the way?) Is that ok with you? I'll be happy to support your process of becoming a Debian package maintainer.
