Bug#829568: RFS: git-remote-gcrypt/1.0.0-1 -- encrypted git repositories

[Sean Whitton <spwhitton@spwhitton.name>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for a new release of git-remote-gcrypt.

Upstream asked for a new maintainer last year (although the GitHub issue
in which he made that request now 404s), and Joey Hess doesn't want to
be considered upstream, so I'm taking on that role myself.

* Package name    : git-remote-gcrypt
  Version         : 1.0.0-1
  Upstream Author : engla, Joey Hess, Sean Whitton and contributors
* URL             : https://git.spwhitton.name/git-remote-gcrypt
* License         : GPL-2+
  Section         : vcs

Changes since the last upload:

  Upstream:
  * Taking over as upstream maintainer.
  * Remove notice about repository format potentially changing.
  * Implement gcrypt.gpg-args git config setting (Closes: #771011).
  * Respect git config gpg.program if configured.
    Thanks Christian Amsüss.  (Closes: #827943)
  * Don't reset the remote ID when a gcrypt remote is not available.
    Thanks Sebastian Reuße.  (Closes: #827943)
  * Suppress bogus warning about keyid matching multiple fingerprints.
    Based on work by Raphaël Droz.
    Closes https://github.com/joeyh/git-remote-gcrypt/pull/2
  * Add "Note to users of GnuPG version 2" section to README.rst.
    See https://github.com/joeyh/git-remote-gcrypt/pull/1

  Debian packaging:
  * Drop patch containing changes by Joey Hess: incorporated in release.
    - Update d/copyright accordingly.
  * Patch README.rst to remove references to installation.
  * Add d/links to avoid duplicate changelogs Lintian warning.
  * Drop Lintian override of no-upstream-changelog.
  * Update URIs in old changelog entries.
  * Add a comment to d/source/lintian-overrides.
  * Bump standards version to 3.9.8 (no changes required).
