Bug#898773: RFS: python-fibra/0.0.17-1 [ITP 898736]

[Mario Frasca <mario@anche.no>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm on my way to become the maintainer of a couple of packages for the
management of botanic collections, namely bauble and ghini.desktop.

both of them rely upon fibra, and fibra wasn't yet in Debian.

so I need fibra in two different packages, and it is also small enough so
that it's being a learning example for me of what difficulties to expect
when I'll face the larger packages.

Fibra itself is a mature product, it was developed between 2008-11 (0.0.6)
and 2009-8 (0.0.17), after that the upstream developer did not think of
renaming the stable version to 1.0.0.

It offers collaborative concurrency, and has been helpful in bauble,
avoiding us trouble with threading and real concurrency.

friendly regards,
Mario Frasca
