Woodrow,
Thank you for the assistance. I have been able to get further but am stumpted by the upload to mentors.debian.org. My upload is getting rejected:
timeshift dsc reference timeshift_19.01+ds.orig.tar.gz, but the file was not found.
Please, include it in your upload.
I have this file, or rather the .tar.xz version of it so I need to either not have the dsc file point to the orig.tar.gz or fix it to point to the orig.tar.xz then get dput to inlude it in the upload. I don't believe that it is needed as it already exits on packages.debian.org/sid/timeshift.
Thank you for any help that anyone can provide in working through this issue. -Steve Meliza

If you try to find mentors to support NMU, I was suggested to use https://mentors.debian.net/ to upload your package first, and you have to file a RFS bug against the sponsorship-requests[1] pseudo-package. I think fixing these bugs could be sequential.

I have never contributed before and am trying to make a NMU patch to prevent package timeshift from being removed on 21Feb2020. The autoremoval bug for timeshift is 948130 [1]. I attempted to contact the maintainer 3 days ago but have not yet received a reply. This leaves me little hope that this RC bug can be closed in time without an NMU.
The fix is quite simple and was made in the upstream git repo, but has not been released yet. I have built the package locally but am at a loss of how to proceed next. I was lead to believe that using nmudiff was the correct next step, but I’m afraid I’ve stuffed that up as it made a new bug report [2] instead of sending it to the existing bug [1].
Please advise on how I should proceed.
Thanks -Steve Meliza
