Bug#820689: ITP: subuser -- Run programs on Linux with selectively restricted permissions

[Stanislas Leduc <stanislas.leduc@mailoo.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Hey dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "subuser"

* Package name    : subuser
  Version         : 0.5.6-1
  Upstream Author : Timothy Hobbs <timothyhobbs@sezname.cz>
* URL             : http://subuser.org/
* License         : LGPL-3
  Section         : admin
  Programming Lang: Python
  Description     : Run programs on Linux with selectively restricted permissions

Furthermore, the fragmentation of the Linux desktop means that packaging work
is needlessly repeated. Programs that build and run on Fedora must be
repackaged for Ubuntu.
This takes time away from creating great free open source software.
Subuser with Docker attacks both problems simultaneously.
Docker provides an isolated and consistent environment for your programs to
run in. Subuser gives your desktop programs access to the resources they need
in order to function normally.

This package depend on docker.io, git and python3
Following my reading on linuxfr.org I discovered this project,
it seems interesting and promising.
So naturally I offered my help to package the application
for Debian and CentOS / Redhat.
I am in contact with the developer, for having exchanged
with him for packaging on Debian, it is responsive and open.
This is my first package for Debian, and think need sponsors
to verify that package is compliant.
