Public bug reported:

Hello,

I got the suggestion of submitting this bug as [needs-packaging] from
[email protected].

Already filed a WNPP bug in debian to "Debian Bug Tracking System"
<[email protected]> about this package being orphaned with the
following information:

Request: guidedog needs a new maintainer and packager
Since guidedog is no longer part of Debian/Ubuntu probably because it has not 
been updated since Qt3, i decided to re-write it in pure Qt5, dropping the 
requirements for Python, CMake and KDE.
I would like to know where to upload the new source code.
Can you please assign a new packager for this tool?

Here goes some additional information on guidedog:

Description: NAT/masquerading/port-forwarding configuration tool for KDE
 Guidedog is a KDE utility which allows to use easily activate and configure 
your machine for packet routing, Network Address
 Translation/IP Masquerading (NAT) and port-forwarding.

Guidedog was originally developed by Simon Edwards. Guidedog webpage is
in http://www.simonzone.com/software/guidedog/

Simon's email [email protected] is no longer valid. I tried to reach
any other email for him, but couldn't find one.

The source package in Debian is in
http://snapshot.debian.org/package/guidedog/1.0.0-6/

The original maintainer of the Debian and Ubuntu guidedog package was
Paul Cupis <[email protected]> but passed away two years ago.
