Bug#918957: RFS: ifmetric/0.3-5

[Michael Shuler <michael@pbandjelly.org>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Hi mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for "ifmetric", as well as possible support
for allowing me to upload as a DM.

Previous uploaders, since I've adopted ifmetric:
Gianfranco Costamagna <locutusofborg@debian.org>
Nicholas Breen <nbreen@debian.org>

This is not a frequently updated package and I'm not learning anything
new by just asking other people to upload every couple years. I have
requested support for DM upload on ifmetric from one of my
ca-certificates uploaders and received no reply (it was a long time ago..).

Anyway, here's the changelog, and if you're so inclined, I would be very
appreciative of a review of the changes and allowing me to do the actual
upload after a:

  dcut dm --uid 0xA278B781FE4B2BDA --allow ifmetric

The package is lintian clean with a couple pedantic warnings.

The package shows 2 warnings on the mentors site that I have not been
able to resolve (bugs with mentors site?):
- Buildsystem: Package uses debhelper with an old compatibility level
  - package is using:  Build-Depends: debhelper-compat (= 12)
- Watch file is not present
  - package has a d/watch file and uscan works as expected

I appreciate your time, and let me know if I need to fix something up.

Kind regards,
Michael
