[RFS] request for a sponsor for chkrootkit



Hi,

I'm looking for a sponsor for an upload of chkrootkit - Marcos Fources
sponsored the last upload but has other commitments

It fixes some bugs (severity <= normal), but the main improvement is
 that it fixes the issues on https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/chkrootkit:
- new upstream release (from https://chkrootkit.org)
- updates debian/watch
- fixes metadata in debian/patches

All changes are in salsa:
- https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/chkrootkit


Let me know what you think, or if you need other info!

the changelog is:

chkrootkit (0.58b-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  [ Richard Lewis ]
  * Team upload
  * New upstream release (0.58b)
    - new option '-T' to exclude files system mount
       points (from some checks)
    - new checks for BPF Door and Tsunami DDoS Malware
    - (includes fix from debian patch 79)
  * Document that anything creating executables in /tmp, including
     'apt source' can create false positives (Closes: #1004232)
  * Update metadata and debian/watch: upstream website
     now supports https and the download location has changed
  * Refresh patches, and make minor improvement to patch 27 to
     fix compilation on hurd-i386 (Closes: #1035086)
