Bug#753949: smartypants: Please package newer upstream release (1.8.5)

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio <asb@debian.org>]

Source: smartypants
Severity: normal

Hi!

There have been a number of releases made since the last upload to Debian.
I'd love to see a more recent release make it in before the freeze. Would
you be interested in a co-maintainer? Ideally, we could add the package to
the Debian Python Modules Team (DPMT).

The same goes for python-typogrify which I filed #744978 on sometime back.

Thanks!
