  Description     : Mutt CardDav search program

mcds is a command line tool primarily used as a search query plugin for
mutt to query a CardDav server.

This utility would supply Debian with the missing functionality of live
contact search for the mutt MUA against CardDav servers such as Nextcloud
and ownCloud. It is also handy for quick contact searches from the
command line.

The most obvious candidate alternative is vdirsyncer but this adopts a
different model, syncing a local contact store with a remote one, which
does not suit all users.

Packages for mcds-1.6 are currently available in the openSUSE and
OpenBSD distributions.

I use mcds and am prepared to maintain it but would need a sponsor.

Proposed gbp-style repository: https://salsa.debian.org/abower/mcds

Thank you!
