Hello Debian Haskell team,
I'm looking for a sponsor for my adoption of propellor, a configuration
management system written in Haskell. It was orphaned when the upstream
author, Joey Hess, left Debian. I have his blessing to adopt it.
I'd hate to see propellor drop out of Debian because it doesn't have a
maintainer. So I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look at
sponsoring my upload. It's lintian-clean and up-to-date, unlike the
current version in sid.
The RFS is below, with a dget download link. Alternatively, check out
tag "debian/2.15.0-1" of my repo https://git.spwhitton.name/propellor
Thanks.

Dear mentors,
Propellor is a configuration management system written in Haskell. Each
system has a list of idempotent properties, which Propellor ensures are
satisfied each time it runs. It uses an innovative and powerful
security and distribution model using Git and PGP.
I am looking for a sponsor for my adoption of the Debian packaging of
Propellor. It was orphaned when the upstream author, former DD Joey
Hess, left Debian.
I contribute patches to Propellor, so I understand how it works and am
well-placed to maintain its Debian package. I've checked with Joey and
he is happy for me to be the Debian package maintainer.
