[RFS]: iw - tool for configuring Linux wireless devices



Hi mentors,

I am seeking a sponsor for iw, a tool for configuring Linux wireless devices.
The packaging is clean, in my opinion, and according to lintian too. It does
however contain one temporal anomaly: it conflicts with the current aircrack-ng
package because it contains a bastard version of iw (#499246). The upload of iw
is targetted at experimental, and the conflict with aircrack-ng will be
resolved before iw first appears in unstable.

Package name    : iw
Version         : 0.9.6-1
Upstream Author : Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
URL             : http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Documentation/iw
Section         : net
Source package  : http://sidux.net/kelmo/debian/pool/main/i/iw/iw_0.9.6-1.dsc

The upload would close the ITP bug #499537.

I am seeking a sponsor from debian-mentors and not the pkg-wpa team for these
reasons:
* the other pkg-wpa people are busy
* the initial upload of iw is really not urgent at all
* would like to develop working relationships with new people

Thanks, Kel.
