Package: sponsorship-requests Severity: important Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for the attached NMU of poppassd that resolves an FTBFS [1] due to an obsolete debhelper compat level. I have contacted the maintainer of poppassd five weeks ago [2] with a proposal addressing the numerous QA issues, including a new upstream release that fixes an ambiguous MIT/GPL license and uses autoconf. Unfortunately the maintainer has not replied so far. The maintainer has not responded to the RC bug either, which was filed in March. [1] https://bugs.debian.org/817626 [2] https://bugs.debian.org/836008 Following advice from Ricardo Mones on behalf of the Debian MIA team, I am submitting a minimal NMU for upload to DELAYED/7 that addresses only the RC bug. After the NMU has been accepted without a reply from the maintainer, I will request sponsorship for poppassd/1.8.7-1 [3] to address the QA issues (see lintian warnings). [3] https://bugs.debian.org/836008#10 Regards, Peter
