Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "alttab":

* Package name    : alttab
  Version         : 1.0.3-1
  Upstream Author : Alexander Kulak <sa-dev@rainbow.by>
* URL             : https://sagb.github.io/alttab
* License         : GPLv3
  Section         : x11

It builds those binary packages:

alttab - task switcher for minimalistic WMs or standalone X session

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

https://mentors.debian.net/package/alttab

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/alttab/alttab_1.0.3-1.dsc

# Advocacy

alttab is just a window switcher for X. Its features:

    [1] works not only in specific WM
    [2] has visual interface
    [3] convenient tactile behaviour: press modifier (Alt) - multiple
        switch with key (Tab) - release modifier
    [4] focuses on clarity and simplicity: lightweight, depend only on
        common X11 libs
    [5] customizable look and behaviour
    [6] seamless work with WM grouping/desktops, because of
        maintaining stack of every window, not only exposed ones

Switchers in common big desktop environments lack [1] and [4].
In minimalistic WM, internal switch lacks [1] and usually [2], [3],
[5], while dmenu-like switchers lack [3]. alttab fits naturally in
this niche.
Comparable standalone application (i'm aware of skippy-xd) is mature
and has more features, but lacks [3] and [4].

# Maintenance notes

I may adopt sponsor's packaging choice instead of gbp/cowbuilder/dh.
I'm hanging around on freenode and oftc (nick sa),
would be grateful for any hint, testing or co-authoring.


Regards,
Alexander Kulak
