Bug#955322: RFS: pulseaudio-dlna -- stream audio to DLNA devices and Chromecasts

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-CC: muammar@debian.org, sergiodj@debian.org

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for a NMU of the 'pulseaudio-dlna' package.

The package has been removed from testing because it's still using Python 2,
and there seems to be no recent upstream activity. There is, however, a fork
of the upstream repository with a port to Python 3, which I have packaged
for this upload to make the package usable again.

All of the details, including where my upstream tarball came from, are in
d/changelog. The package is Lintian-clean, and I have verified that it works
with a DLNA device of mine.

The current maintainer hasn't made an upload for this package in three years
and does not seem to have made any effort to solve the open RC bugs, so I
think a NMU is warranted here. However, I've still added him in X-Debbugs-CC
to be sure.

I have created a Git repository for this package, but I think it would be
best to maintain this repository in the Debian group on Salsa, so whoever
sponsors this package: Please also create the repository that the
Vcs-{Git,Browser} fields point to and give me "Maintainer" access to it, so
that I can push to it.


The package can be found on Salsa (temporarily, see above) and on Mentors:

  https://salsa.debian.org/wolff-guest/pulseaudio-dlna

Thanks for your help!

Fabian
