Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "xnoise".

The package is almost lintian clean, only complain I'm not the maintainer.
However, it's fine since I got a permission from him.
This list users comments about the package has been fixed. You can see the
previous attempts(in previous versions):

I'm planning to get in touch with Debian multimedia team, but I need a
sponsor first, since they don't do sponsoring.
Note that among other changes, version switch GTK2 dependency to GTK3.
It is also, according to maintainer, the last one in 0.1.x series (i.e. next
one will be 0.2).

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/x/xnoise/xnoise_0.1.31.dsc
I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.
Kind regards,
Tal Hadad
