Bug#849313: RFS: mate-equake-applet/1.3.8-1 [ITP]

[Jeroen van Aart <android@e-quake.org>]

Dear all,

I would need a sponsor for this package. I uploaded a previous version 
for the first time in December 2016, with the last update March 2017.

However I let the RFS expire and be archived because at the time mate in 
the upcoming debian stable had migrated to gtk3 and I first had to 
migrate this software to gtk3 as well before requesting sponsorship again.

I recently completed this hence I re-opened this older RFS bug.


Package: sponsorship-requests

Changes since the last upload:

* New upstream release (Closes: #849267)
* Migrated to gtk3 which is the default major version of gtk used by 
mate in the current debian stable and newer
* Limited the amount to which text can grow before being displayed into
GtkLabel when viewing historical data for the week, to prevent GtkLabel 
from crashing
* Added test to count amount of commas left in text to be processed


Best regards,
Jeroen van Aart
