Bug#972107: xscreensaver: looking for new sponsor
Hi Tormod
Looking at this URL, one thing doesn't fit, it's yours:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=sponsorship-requests;dist=unstable
(Following the advice on http://mentors.debian.net/sponsor/rfs-howto
... No, that's a joke because it is a broken link, from
If you specify where you saw that URL, you should be able to report it
at
the right place to have it fixed.

I'm not able to find your xscreensaver package on mentors.debian.net.
Would be great if you could do that... Once I get access to your source
package,
preferably a .dsc URL that I can use with dget.
My current sponsor for the xscreensaver package is very busy with more
important things so I am looking for someone to sponsor my
5.44+dfsg1-1 release from
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/xscreensaver
Just having had a short look at it, you claim in d/changelog to bump
standards version and debhelper version.
debhelper still is at 9, and d/compat is around. We're at 13.
standards version should be 4.5.0. but shows me 4.1.4 at given salsa
address.
I doubt anyone would sponsor that.
I also asked the previous sponsor, without luck.
The explanation is above... probably among other things.
Hopefully someone that is also using xscreensaver and is willing to
continue in the future. A co-maintainer would also be welcome.
But someone who just jumps in and uploads this release is also very
much welcome!
Debian stands for quality, so I doubt that'll happen at its current
state.
Usually there are not many issues with my packages, so it shouldn't be
a big task.
Best,
