Bug#906005: RFS: libmarpa/6.1.0~dfsg-1.1 [NMU]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear Jonas and mentors,

I prepared an NMU for package libmarpa to solve bug #870603 (multiarch-support
removal). As a result, I am looking for a sponsor to help to upload this
package into experimental. Since Jonas is listed in the lowNMU list and that
the change is trival, I'm not asking for an upload into the DELAYED queue.

Jonas, looks like you haven't worked on this package since 2014. It might be
better to review this package again recently since keeping a package in
experimental for a long time is generally not a good idea.
