I'm not convinced this one is more suitable for the Debian archive
than the alternatives, but if you consent to being an Uploader for
Jaalto's folding-mode (continuation of the goodies one) then I'm
willing to package it:
  https://github.com/jaalto/project-emacs--folding-mode/

Going from MELPA stats (thank you again for the link):
  https://melpa.org/download_counts.json

 "folding": 3179, 
 "origami": 21948, 
 "vimish-fold": 11063,
 "yafolding": 5459, 

Origami is almost 2x more popular than the closest runner-up...  Yes,
Jaalto's folding-mode's stats are undefined, so it might be equally or
more popular.

Would you still prefer if I get to work on Jaalto's folding-mode,
and comaintain it (under team maintenance, of course)?


Cheers,
Nicholas
