I request help with the cryfs package.

The package description is:
 CryFS encrypts your files, so you can safely store them anywhere. It works
 well together with cloud services like Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive and
others.

CryFS implements an encrypted file system.

I'm not in a position to be able to support the package properly going
forward,
and request help in bringing it up to snuff. Ultimately, I'd like to offer
it up for
adoption. Given that it implements encryption, and has a current popcon of
20,000, I intend to be careful with that part of the process.

Outstanding Issues include:

* CI tests fail on the Debian-supported s390x architecture [s390x], with
what
appears to be a big-endian bug.

* The entire program is being rewritten from C++ to Rust. This will be
released as the 2.0 series.

* In preparation, the build environment has some changes for the legacy
C++ 1.x releases.

* The current Debian version is based on v0.11.4. There are several legacy
C++ 1.x versions which have not yet been prepared for Debian.

* Other issues on the bug list [bugs].

I've made an attempt to flag the package as LowThresholdNmu, but the
Tracker is not recognizing it.
