Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "heimdall-flash"

Package name    : heimdall-flash

License         : Expat
Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/heimdall-flash (please create)

It builds these binary packages:

  git clone https://salsa.debian.org/sten-guest/heimdall-flash.git

Changes since the last upload:

   [Nicholas D Steeves]
   * Salvage heimdall-flash. (Closes: #946706)
   * Set myself as Maintainer.
   * New upstream release. (Closes: #872788)
     - Ben Hutchings, Matt Taggart, Mathias Behrle, and Michal Suchanek
       confirmed that this release solves issues with downloading a device's
       PIT. (Closes: #800573)
   * Build with Qt5. (Closes: #874915)
   * Add gbp.conf.
   * Drop remove-largefile-define.diff, to test if it is still needed.  The
     upstream build system now uses qmake via CMake, rather than directly
     using the native Qt build system, heimdall-frontend.pro has
     disappeared, and CMakeLists.txt:L48 appends QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT to
     COMPILE_DEFINITIONS.  Given Marcin's description and confirmation with
     Lisandro about QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT in Debian, it's unclear whether or
     not patching out QT_LARGEFILE_SUPPORT is still required.
   * Switch to debhelper-compat 12.  Cut "--parallel" from rules, because
     it is enabled by default with this dh version.
   * Drop all overrides from rules.
   * Drop get-orig-source from rules, because it does not appear to have
     been used since 1.4~rc1+dfsg-1, because it uses the old github remote,
     and because I do not want to maintain it.
   * Add CMake as a build-dep.
   * Modify heimdall-flash.install and heimdall-flash-frontend.install to
     source binaries from CMake build dir.
   * Update Vcs links to use the Debian project on salsa.
   * Override dh_auto_install to build man page from Linux README, and add
     txt2man as a build-dep.
   * Drop the version qualifier for libusb-1.0-0-dev build-dep, because
     even oldoldstable has the minimum required version of 2:1.0.19-1.
   * Install man page using heimdall-flash.manpages
   * Provide a man page for heimdall-frontend using
     heimdall-flash-frontend.links
   * Copyright: Use secure URLs.
   * Copyright: Add Steve Langasek and myself for debian/*
   * Rules: Stop parsing the changelog and instead use pkg-info.mk to get
     DEB_VERSION_UPSTREAM.
   * Declare Standards-Version: 4.5.0
     - Change Priority extra to optional.
   * Add lintian override for "appstream-metadata-missing-modalias-provide".
     See lintian-overrides for rationale.  Thanks to Moritz Mühlenhoff for the
     review and discussion on this package's lint.
   * Add zadig.exe to copyright's Files-Excluded, add +dfsg suffix to version,
     and adjust watch file for a DFSG-repacked orig.tarball.
   * Add Lintian override for hardening-no-bindnow.  See
     debian/lintian-overrides for rationale.
 .
   [Felix Lechner and Nicholas D Steeves]
   * Update watch file to use new gitlab.com upstream.
