Just a heads up, I am still interested in this and have been working on it. You'll have to excuse the slowness. I am a bit of a sloth as you can see. 😁 For future reference, what's the best way to submit a patch?

Thank you for your interest! I am happy to give up the package to someone able to come up with a complete patch for #877040. This would certainly demonstrate sufficient competence. How about you start working on that bug, and then you can become the maintainer once you have a patch for it? -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I use ublock origin all the time. I'm fairly new, so I will probably have quite a few questions. If Sean doesn't want to give up the project to me because he doesn't have any time to answer questions or because he believes this project is too difficult for a newcomer, I'm okay with that as well.

Package: wnpp Severity: normal I request an adopter for the ublock-origin package. I do not have time/interest to deal with #877040, which is a bug of normal severity for now, but will become RC within the next eighteen months or so. See the bug for details. This is a team-maintained package, so it would be best if the adoptor replaced me in Uploaders:, but they could also take the package out of the team's hands. The package description is: uBlock is a small footprint blocker for against web ads, malware, trackers, analytics and similar invasive items. . Compared to other blockers like AdBlock and Ghostery, µBlock is focused on having a smaller memory and CPU footprint. -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature
