Re: One noob, 3 orphan source packages, 14 .deb, looking for a sponsor

This will be of help when i expand my work to packages
where i am not the upstream.
For my own ones i rather seem to know too much about the
license situation of their various representations.

Will try. And also the proposal to use debuild instead of
dpkg-buildpackage, which i got on debian-mentors@lists.debian.org.

The more sponsors the better.
I understand Steve is interested because of the Debian
installation ISOs.

Users of burners might be interested to plug me together
with kernel people so that we can tackle the multi-SG_IO
performance regression.
udev's interference could need some curbing, too.
(It's better than with olde hald-addon-storage, though.)

Oops. Another construction site ?

I have (or need) a repo at "collab-maint" ?

You mean pkg-libburnia-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org ?

How do i get administration power for all this ?
And where to learn using that power properly ?

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libburn
shows Mario and George, both friends of mine, but too busy.

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/dvd+rw-tools
shows the three people whom i believed to never have met in
the internet about the topic of DVD burning.
But my bug report #713016 shows the work of two of them.
With photo.
(The mail notification of bugs works or works not, depending
on moon phase and constellation of decommissioned satellites.)

So i will get even more potential sponsors. :))

https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-libburnia-devel%40lists.alioth.debian.org
is entirely dedicated to my tarballs. I feel flattered.

I fail to find the the equivalent for my packages or the team.
Tried:
  https://alioth.debian.org/projects/libburn
  https://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-libburnia-devel


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
