Bug#995670: Zig package status

I've filed a request for a sponsor
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012286

Other than not have a sponsor, the two main issues I see are:

1. Some of the post build tests fail.
Checking on zig issues and IRC it seems not so unusual for some tests to
fail in certain situations. I'm not sure how worthwhile it is chasing
down these issues before zig reaches 1.0.0. 

2. The copyright file.
With so much bundled source code from different projects it's quite
challenging to write a correct copyright file. I've put considerable
time into this, but it is horribly tedious and boring work. Without a
sponsor to get zig into Debian I could just be completely wasting my
time.

Cheers,

Nick.
