Bug#839859: RFS: poppassd/1.8.5-4.1 [RC, NMU]

[Peter Colberg <peter@colberg.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for the attached NMU of poppassd that
resolves an FTBFS [1] due to an obsolete debhelper compat level.

I have contacted the maintainer of poppassd five weeks ago [2] with
a proposal addressing the numerous QA issues, including a new upstream
release that fixes an ambiguous MIT/GPL license and uses autoconf.
Unfortunately the maintainer has not replied so far. The maintainer
has not responded to the RC bug either, which was filed in March.

[2] https://bugs.debian.org/836008

Following advice from Ricardo Mones on behalf of the Debian MIA team,
I am submitting a minimal NMU for upload to DELAYED/7 that addresses
only the RC bug. After the NMU has been accepted without a reply from
the maintainer, I will request sponsorship for poppassd/1.8.7-1 [3] to
address the QA issues (see lintian warnings).

Regards,
Peter
