Bug#919446: RFS: owlrl/5.2.0-1 [ITP]

[Ashley Sommer <Ashley.Sommer@csiro.au>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear Mentors,

I'm looking for a sponsor for my package "owlrl"

  Package name    : owlrl
  Version         : 5.2.0
  Upstream Author : Ivan Herman <ivan@ivan-herman.net>
  URL             : https://github.com/RDFLib/OWL-RL
  License         : W3C
  Programming Lang: Python
  Section         : python
  Description     : A simple implementation of the OWL2 RL Profile on top of RDFLib: it expands the graph with all possible triples that RDFS and OWL-RL defines. It can be used together with RDFLib to expand an RDFLib Graph object, or as a stand alone service with its own serialization.

It builds those binary packages:

    python3-owlrl - OWL-RL and RDFS based RDF Closure inferencing

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

    https://mentors.debian.net/package/owlrl

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

    dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/owlrl/owlrl_5.2.0-1.dsc

The useful python application called RDFClosure by Ivan Herman was recently updated to v5 and released on pypi. I am an active developer on owlrl and I maintain the pypi release.
I intend to package another tool called pySHACL for debian, but it relies on owlrl, so I need owlrl released as a debian package first.
The only requirement of owlrl is rdflib, which is already an actively maintained debian package.

I intend to personally be the active maintainer of this package (via a sponsor). 
I have not released a debain package before, I will be looking for a sponsor to get this (owlrl) and pySHACL packaged and published, perhaps the maintainer or rdflib would like to sponsor this package.

Regards,
Ashley Sommer
