Good day Michael, Job, Damyan, and the Debian games team,
I think we may have a person or two familiar with Debian. I will bring this up with the community and see if we're can find someone interested in doing this.
I know this has come up before, and we weren't sure how to proceed, so I think we should be able to.
Thank you,
Zitchas
I have not been working on Endless Sky in a few years - it would make sense to switch the maintainer to someone on the
current development team. I've CCed Zitchas on this email.

Two years later, this is no longer available and endless-sky is at
version 0.9.16.1.
I have taken the liberty to upgrade the package (locally) from
0.9.8-1.2 to 0.9.16.1 and started a salsa project to track the
changes. The result is at <https://salsa.debian.org/dmn/endless-sky>.
It is not 100% ready yet, but looks quite nice. At this point I wonder
how to proceed.
Michael, would you like a co-maintainer for the Debian package?
Perhaps even a group-maintenance under the Debian Games Team (cc-ed)?
Either should help timely upgrades in Debian.
Thanks for the great additions to the storyline :)
