lets take this one:
some issues:

1) why are you repacking it? is really bundled jquery a "dfsg" problem?
In general, repack with dfsg is done to solve licensing issues, not because of bundled deps.
You might use "ds" (Debian source), if you think you can save useful bits, but I think 
this is not really the case.

Please instead, use rules file to ship the jquery you want, or remove it in clean target
(unless it really has some license issues).

BTW, replacing jquery for doc might even be a bad idea
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=736360

So, please be careful with it.

2) missing copyrights:
+ * Copyright (c) 2016 Alexandru Ardelean.
+ * Copyright (c) 2016 Eric Haszlakiewicz
(and probably more)

so, once both issues are addressed, I can sponsor it!
(I still need to do a build test)

also, don't forget to request a transition slot!

Hi,


I am looking for a sponsor for a QA upload to “json-c”:


  * Package name: json-c

  * Version: 0.13.1+dfsg-1

  * Upstream: Metaparadigm Pte. Ltd. <michael@metaparadigm.com>

  * URL: https://github.com/json-c/json-c/

  * License: Expat

  * Section: main


It is a dependency of d-i (through cryptsetup), pam-u2f (through libu2f-*), ...


I need an upload to experimental so I can request a transition slot (the ABI

changed, and so did the soname); I moved the packaging repository to salsa.d.o,

so please fetch the source from there (`git buildpackage` ought to do the right thing):


  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/json-c



I previously requested a sponsored upload from Stefano (in CC) privately,

but he seems to not be very available currently.



Best,


  nicoo
