Hello Patrice Duroux, I'm looking over what Debian Maintainer Dashboard (DMD) says is my old sins that I should fix up (before the upcoming freeze) and apparently I was sponsoring uploads of nm-fortisslvpn which I did not remember. Not sure if the current maintainer lost interest in poking me or what happened. I know nowadays debian-mentors has a nice "new" workflow of filing bugs for Request for Sponsorship (RFS), so hopefully if it was me who dropped the ball that was tried instead of asking me directly. Given there has been no followup on bug reports I assume it wasn't me.

Would you by any chance consider taking on the official Debian maintainer role for this package? I would offer to review and sponsor your uploads, but you might also want to get familiar with how to file an RFS in case I'm busy/unavailable. Given upstream uses GNOME resources, I think people on #debian-gnome (irc.debian.org / OFTC) would also lend you a helping hand if you have any questions about packaging work. I've already looked over the changes you posted above and it looks good to me with a couple of nitpicks: * Please add `(Closes: #XYZ)` entries for the two open bug reports in the bug tracking system your changes fixes (Gtk4 + new upstream rel.). * Consider changing Vcs-* fields in debian/control to your fork and set yourself as Maintainer, mentioning that you're taking over. (If you do take Maintainer, remember to set packaging revision back to -1 and remove the Non-maintainer upload entry in the changelog.) * Please `dch -r` (UNRELEASED -> unstable) and `gbp tag && gbp push` I know there's an official procedure to take over a package these days which you might want to get familiar with here: https://wiki.debian.org/PackageSalvaging I hope your salvaging of the package is welcome by all parties and it would be nice to get the package in a usable shape and migrated to testing before the freeze. If you're just interested in doing a single NMU I'd consider sponsoring that as well! Regards, Andreas Henriksson
