Hi Iliya, I'm Bear's upstream maintainer. Thank you for stepping up to adopt the package - and thank you Sebastian for maintaining it all these years.
One heads-up for planning: the current upstream line (4.x) is a ground-up rewrite in Rust, so bringing the package up to the latest version is more than a routine bump - the build system, dependencies, and install layout all changed since 3.x. How would you like to approach it? I'm happy to support the packaging work from the upstream side; tell me what would help. And if anything in upstream's build or release process creates friction for Debian, I'd like to hear about it - that feedback is valuable to me. I'm easy to reach on the GitHub tracker, or by mail. Cheers, Laszlo Nagy
