I am looking for a sponsor for the package "backbone"
Do you intend to help maintain the package collaboratively, or take
over maintenance?
Collaboratively.
Great!
...but perhaps we have different understandings of that term, then:
It seems you prepared a new package release with radical structural
changes, and requested sponsorship for uploading it. First I hear of
all that is today, after the fact. Did I miss some prior communication
somehow?
If not, then please elaborate a bit on the kind of collaboration you
want.
[holding back on answering the rest of the mail until above is more
clear]
Answer about the missed prior communication :
() 3 may 2014, Julian Taylor files #746787 asking for a new upstream
release (eh, that was for ipython and I'm aiming for jupyter, which is
ex-ipython!) ;
() 1 september 2015, Pirate Praveen files #797698, asking for a new
version ;
() 5 october 2015, David Prévot notes that #797698 affects owncloud ;
() 16 november 2015, Thomas Goirand comments #797698 that he also needs
a higher version and asked if he could do the work -- he didn't get a
reply (at least in the bug) ;
() 1 june 2016, Christophe Troestler complains in #797698 that owncloud
in Debian is stuck to a older version (here the situation is cloudy [pun
intended], because the same day David Prévot removes the indication that
this bug affects owncloud...)
Answer about the meaning of collaboration : I mean work together (in
fact, that's precisely what the Latin roots of the word mean). And by
together, I don't mean always together. Just that several hands
cooperate to get things done. If one hand is resting, the other can do
whatever is needed alone.
I hope that clears things as requested,
