Thanks for taking over! One more thing to add: we have a packaging
repository, which Matt started. Since you have taken over ownership of
the package, I want to offer you also taking over the repository if you
like: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc-packaging

Bug#855173: RFP: keepassxc -- Community fork of KeePassX, a free and open-source cross-platform password manager.

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name: keepassxc
  Version : 2.1.1
  Upstream Author : KeePassXC 
* URL : https://keepassxc.org
* License : GPLv2, GPLv3
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description : Community fork of KeePassX, a free and open-source
cross-platform password manager.

KeePassXC aims to incorporate many pull requests as well as additional
newly developed features that have never been merged into KeePassX.
Besides many bug fixes and other minor changes, the current version
(2.1.1) already contains the following additional features:

- Autotype on all three major platforms (Linux, Windows, OS X)
- Stand-alone password generator
- Password strength meter
- Use website's favicons as entry icons
- Merging of databases
- Automatic reload when the database changed on disk
- KeePassHTTP support for use with PassIFox in Firefox and chromeIPass
in Google Chrome and Chromium

More features will come in 2.2.0. (e.g. Yubikey support, Twofish cipher
support, a welcome screen redesign, general user interface improvements
etc.)

At the time of the fork, KeePassXC built upon the latest but never
released KeePassX source tree, which included the switch to Qt5.

I'm writing you as one of the main developers of KeePassXC. We would
like to get KeePassXC into the official Debian repositories and from
there into other derivatives such as Ubuntu. We would be willing to
package KeePassXC ourselves, but since none of us developers is an
active Debian user, we would like to ask first if someone else would be
willing to package it for us. In the interest of package quality, this
would likely be best. Packaging KeePassXC is (and for the foreseeable
future will be) quite similar to packaging KeePassX, so maybe the
original KeePassX maintainer could handle this if he's willing to? He's
on X-Debbugs-Cc.

Thanks and regards
Janek
