  Description     : Wrapper around the Briar Headless REST API

Briar is a messaging app designed for activists, journalists, and anyone
else who needs a safe, easy and robust way to communicate. Unlike
traditional messaging apps, Briar doesn't rely on a central server -
messages are synchronized directly between the users' devices. If the
internet's down, Briar can sync via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, keeping the
information flowing in a crisis. If the internet's up, Briar can sync via
the Tor network, protecting users and their relationships from
surveillance.

This package contains the Python wrapper around the REST API exposed by
briar-headless. It is used by briar-gtk and in future might also be used in
briar_repl [0], a commandline client for Briar.

Briar GTK is already packaged according to DFSG, but it depends on
briar-headless which can't be build with Debian packages due to Kotlin:
https://code.briarproject.org/briar/python-briar-wrapper/-/tree/main/debian

I develop and use briar_wrapper myself with support by other core developers
of the Briar Project. I plan to maintain this project and its dependencies
in Debian, but I'm always open to and appreciating any help by potential
co-maintainers. Additionally, I'm looking for a sponsor.
