Hello debian-go team,

I would like to volunteer to work on updating the `gh` (GitHub CLI)
package from its current 2.46.0-4 to upstream v2.92.0.

Background:
- Bug #1119130 (serious): `gh pr view` crashes for all repositories
  with a GraphQL deprecation error (Projects Classic sunset). The
  package has been absent from testing since 2025-12-11 as a result.
- Upstream is at v2.92.0 (2026-04-28), 46 versions ahead of Debian.
- The December 2025 thread on this list flagged the problem but
  produced no volunteer. I would like to step up.

I am a beginner to Debian packaging but technically capable and
committed to doing this properly. I have a Salsa account and a GPG
key set up (0x116957CE75ACE19A).

My immediate plan:
1. Clone the Salsa repo and import upstream v2.92.0 via gbp import-orig
2. Audit the new go.mod for missing Debian dependencies
3. Fix any broken patches and build failures
4. Submit a Merge Request to the debian/sid branch on Salsa
5. Request sponsorship for the upload

I am also aware of MR !5 (CVE backports for bookworm) and will
separately test and review it.

Would anyone from the team be willing to mentor or sponsor this work?
Any guidance on packaging challenges specific to `gh` is welcome.
