Package: syncthingray
Severity: wishlist
Hi! This is a Go package, and as such you are welcome to team-maintain
it in the Debian Go Team if you are okay with that? That would allow
the rest of the team to do QA fixes on it more easily.

Indeed you are right. I found the syncthingtray package came up during
one of my golang dependency cleanups, and right now I can't reconstruct
the path that led me to believe that syncthingtray was a Go package
(possibly it could have been 'Build-Depends: syncthing').
Sorry for the noise! Closing the bug.

I just did a dependency cleanup upload of 'syncthing', but I don't use
syncthing (although long-time user of nextcloud and have considered
setting up syncthing separately too), so I don't have confidence in
making any changes to the packaging. Are you in a position to test
package updates, if I would make them? If so, I could look attempting
to package a newer upstream and pushing it into experimental. However
sometimes newer upstream releases comes with a LOT of new unpackaged
library dependencies, and I don't have cycles for any significant
undertaking here.
