I'm very interested to sponsor that.

Some remarks:
* I usually dislike to patch upstream in the .diff.gz and prefers
debian/patches/ to be used.
+ There is various patches in Documentation/* that I do not fully
understand, even if I suspect it's just a missing $(MAKE) clean
call.
+ Your Makefiles patches are disputable, but the upstream build
system indeed seems to be quite inconsistent. So I think this will
be okay.
* your debian/copyright is not complete, it misses one copyright
statement for one of the guild-* commands, and do not report the
documentation copyright. You can take [0] as very good examples of
debian/copyright files.
So please fix the latter that is a blocker for any sponsoring to take
place :) You can contact me directly on my @debian.org address, or on
IRC (on #debian-mentors/#debian-devel/...@OFTC).
Cheers,
