Bug#844185: RFS: fvwm/2.6.7 [ITA] -- f? virtual window manager

[Jaimos Skriletz <jaimosskriletz@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Hello mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for me to maintain the package fvwm:

Package name: fvwm
Version: 2.6.7
Upstream Author: fvwm-workers@fvwm.org
URL: http://fvwm.org
License: GPL-2
Section: x11

I am looking to update and maintain the latest release of fvwm in
Debian. I have created a source package for review along with have had
a short correspondence with the current maintainer, sharing my work
with him. The current maintainer said he no longer uses fvwm and if
I'm willing to take responsibility I am welcomed to.

I have shared my work with the maintainer but besides that one short
email, he has not gotten back to me. Once this bug is submitted, I
will send the bug ID to the maintainer and ask for him to respond
publicly for verification.

This will be the first package I have maintained, yet I am an active
member of the #debian irc community where I go by "somiaj".

A copy of the source (and other files generated) can be found at:
http://fvwmforums.org/fvwm-2.6.7/

My changelog to update the package to 2.6.7:

  * Complies with Policy v3.9.8.
  * New upstream version. (Closes: #820425)
    - Fvwm now has a default config. See /usr/share/doc/fvwm/NEWS.Debian.gz
    - Removed the following modules:

        FvwmTabs, FvwmTaskBar, FvwmTheme, FvwmWharf, FvwmWinList,

  * Removed the old system.fvwm2rc config examples.
  * Upstream moved from cvs to git. Updated watch file.
  * Removed old Debian menu methods. Use XDG menus with fvwm-menu-desktop.
  * html documentation no longer built (outdated/broken links).
  * Package build is reproducible. (Closes: #831646)
  * Fixed conflicting array sizes of TabCom. (Closes: #801612)
  * Upstream no longer includes a debian/ directory, so Debian no longer has
    to repackage the upstream source without debian/. Removed .ds from version.
