Review and/or Upload - Re: Bug#1112244: ITP: pixelmatch -- pixel-level image comparison for go

[Ahmad Khalifa <ahmad@khalifa.ws>]

Hi,

I'd like to invite anyone interested in reviewing the tiniest package 
ever, to please give pixelmatch a review. It's the only zero-dependency 
non-dev go package I've seen.

https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/pixelmatch

If you ever saw 2 images and wanted to know if they matched, pixelmatch 
answers that question.

One note worth mentioning, it produces a -dev package as somewhere in 
the rabbit hole of d2/go-exif/playwright, it was a dependency. Still 
working on those.


Upload/Sponsorship would be appreciated as well at some point.
