RFS: colorzero/2.0-1 [ITP] -- Construct, convert, and manipulate colors in a Pythonic manner.

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "colorzero":

 * Package name    : colorzero
   Version         : 2.0-1
   Upstream Author : https://github.com/waveform80/colorzero
 * URL             : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorzero
 * License         : BSD-3-Clause
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/colorzero
   Section         : python

A little extra background on this submission: one of the existing 
packages in Debian is gpiozero (producing python3-gpiozero). This is 
currently at version 1.4.1 in Debian while upstream it's now at 1.6.2. 
This is partly due to gpiozero 1.5 introducing a dependency on this 
package (colorzero); incidentally, in the interests of clarity, I'm one 
of the developers on gpiozero, and the sole developer on colorzero.

I'd originally had a go at getting colorzero into Debian a couple of 
years ago (hence this follow-up), but knew even less about deb-packaging 
back then. Hopefully this submission is slightly better!

Obviously, I don't expect much to happen until after the freeze, but if 
someone could give it a look and make sure I haven't made too many 
horrendous mistakes that'd be great.

I've also got some updated packaging for gpiozero (and another optional 
dependency it grew in 1.6.x)in salsa but that can wait until colorzero 
(which is a hard dependency) is dealt with, and will obviously require 
coordination with the gpiozero maintainer anyway.

It builds those binary packages:

  python-colorzero-doc - Construct, convert, and manipulate colors in a Pythonic manner.
  python3-colorzero - Construct, convert, and manipulate colors in a Pythonic manner.

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

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/c/colorzero/colorzero_2.0-1.dsc

Changes for the initial release:

 colorzero (2.0-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
 .
   * Initial Debian release.

Thanks!
