tbh, I'm a bit surprised at a lot of the frustration and surprise i'm
reading - I've replied whenever I've got the email and have tried to
be helpful. It's great to be asked or sent an email, I guess?

This is now the 3rd time I've offered to sponsor? Yeah. Again - please
send me an updated DSC I can review that turns it into a regular
upload -- either call it a Team Upload or a normal one and Mateusz -
you can add yourself as an Uploader, please.

I'll also say I'm lowNMU so this could have just been done without me,
but since I'd be sponsoring I don't want to sponsor a NMU against a
package I'm on the Uploaders for.

It's great to hear from you :)  As one of the maintainers, will you have
time and energy to review and merge Mateusz's work in the near future?
Alternatively, would you be willing to add Mateusz as an Uploader and to
let a mentor review and sponsor the proposed changes?  I'm happy that
you wrote back, because the best solution is collaboration!

Mateusz, I'm supposing that you would be ok with this, because you've
made a number of changes to fluxbox that are not appropriate for an NMU
and that are the domain of a package's maintainers.  Consequently, it
makes it look like you'd like to help with the periodic maintenance of
this package.  Please let us know if this isn't what you want.

Kind regards,
Nicholas

Retry for Paul.

The NMU is not from me but Mateusz.

Hope you'll be a DM soon @Mateusz, but meanwhile, I concur with Paul,
don't do NMU, be the package owner and do a normal maintainer upload
@Mateusz, as you cans see from
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=927477 that the
package owner stop responding to people more than 5 years ago.

@Paul, no hurry, take your time, as we've been waiting for more than 8
years, 

cheers

Thanks Mateusz.

Seeing that your previous NMU 1.3.5-2.1 upload got unnoticed, I'm just
trying to stir up some noise to get you more traction.

CCing Paul who offered me help last time when I attempted it.

Thanks everyone!
